Homemade corn tortillas

So in the States, flour tortillas are more popular than corn. Here in Mexico, flour tortillas are only used more or less for after dinner treats in which they put a healthy glob of cajeta (a caramel made from goat milk) or La lechera (condensed milk). I have never been served a flour tortilla the whole time I have been here, and that is why I am going to give you a simple recipe for corn tortillas that anyone can make. Granted, they are not like the ones that they sell in the tortillarias (stores that only sell corn tortillas), but they are much tastier than the store bought ones you find in most supermarkets back home. The tortillas literally a staple food down here, and the only way I can explain it is the way that Italians consider pasta the most important part of the dish and not the sauce. The same could be said more or less for Mexicans and tortillas. I will put some pictures along with the recipe for refrence.

Ingredients-
1. 2 Cups Maseca Corn Masa mix
2. 1/2 teaspoon Salt-only use with water
3. 1 1/8 Cup vegetable or water
4. Tortilla Press, or rolling pen
5. Measuring Cups
6. spoon
7. 2 Plastic Bags (Large sandwich bags or wax paper)
8. Iron Skillet (Comal)
9. Metal spatula

Step one:
First mix together for about 3 minutes, or until it becomes a dough ball:
2 Cups Maseca Corn Masa mix (Sold in all mexican stores)
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 1/8 vegetable broth
(If it is a little crumbly just mix in a Tablespoon of water)
Then separate the dough into 16 equally sized pieces. Now you will want to form these globes into slightly flat little balls.
Step Two:
You will need to bust out the tortillas press. You can buy one of these in any mexican store for cheap.Ok first you will need to lay a plastic bag down on the inside of the press, then flour it, put the dough ball down on it, put another plastic bag on top of it and then close the lid and press the handle down. Now flip the lid back and you should have a very nice round tortilla. If you neglect using the plastic and flour on bothe ends, your batter (masa) will stick.

Step Three:
Put the tortillas on a hot skillet. They will start to bubble, and that is when you flip them. They should have a nice golden brown color. That's it! Enjoy with just about any type of mexican dish. Here are some pics of the stuff you'll need-
