Is it possible to make a good corn tortilla without a tortilla press? Mine are always too stiff or crumbly. What's the secret?
If you think you are going to make them very often I'd suggest getting a press, but in the meantime. You want to cook quickly in a very hot pan then cover with linen so as to not cook all the moisture out.erinmself said:Is it possible to make a good corn tortilla without a tortilla press?

This recipe has the rough percentages I use.vagriller said:Anyone have a good flour tortilla recipe? I searched but could not find one.

No, cover after they they're cooked to prevent moisture and heat loss.erinmself said:Thanks for the advice, everyone.
Skilletlicker, do you mean cover it with linen while it is cooking? This seems like a fire hazard to me, of course I am a little fire prone. That is a great idea about the bags and also the corn stock. I will have to try that in the future. What kind of tortilla press do you use and how much did it cost?

You can also esplain that enchiladas bake for two beers and stock simmers for two ball games.vagriller said::to wife:
"Honey, skilletlicker says I need to go get a 12 pack in order to make good tortillas."
