Homemade Tortillas
Tortillas are one of the key ingredients in Mexican cooking. They can be made from either masa (corn tortillas) or wheat flour (flour tortillas). They are made similarly to other flat breads - they are unleavened and cooked on a hot griddle (called a comal). The basic ingredients are flour, water, shortening, salt, and baking powder.
