Once the comal is hot start pressing the tortillas as shown. The plastic will help you release the tortillas from the press.

The dough should not be sticky or too dry (crumble), if it is add water or flour as needed. The dough should peel off easily from plastic/hand without sticking.

To cook: drop the tortilla on the comal let cook for 20-30 sec. then flip over and cook other side 20-30 sec. Place cooked tortillas in a container with a towel, to keep hot and moist.

While you make press and flip tortillas you can scramble some eggs, warm up some beans or make quesadillas with the tortillas.

Serve the tortillas with any filling of your choice. Tortillas keep best (soft) for 2 days in the refrigerator, wrap well to preserve moisture and prevent over drying.
