ingredients
2 cups blue or yellow masa harina (cornmeal)
1 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cup boiling water
directions
Combine the masa harina and salt in a bowl. Add the boiling water and stir until the mixture is the consistency of cooked oatmeal.
Wet your hands and form the dough into egg-sized balls. Place each dough ball between two pieces of dampened waxed paper. Flatten the dough to 1/8-inch thick using a tortilla press or rolling pin.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Place a tortilla on the griddle and cook for 1 minute per side or until lightly browned. Remove the tortilla from the heat and cover with a towel while preparing the tortillas.
Store the tortillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
