Corn Tortillas

These are such a special treat and don’t take very long to prepare. You need masa harina (flour made from nixtamalized corn), a tortilla press, and, preferably, a large electric griddle that heats to at least 400°F (200°C). A large griddle is best, because it heats more evenly and can cook more tortillas at a time. (If you don’t have a large griddle, a good quality skillet that heats evenly will do.) These tortillas are wonderful with Caldo Tlalpeño and
