Homemade Corn Tortillas

Instructions

1. Add the flour and lime zest. Give it a quick toss. Add the water and tequila. 
2. Using your hands, mix the dough until it forms a play dough like consistency. Set aside in the bowl for about 10 minutes with towel covering the bowl. 

Corn Tortilla dough

1. Measure out 1 oz portions of dough. Roll into balls, and set aside under a tea towel. 
2. Gather your tortilla press (The easiest way to make these by far. You can pick one up at any Mexican specialty store. They are really inexpensive.) or a rolling pin. If using the press, you want to line the bottom of the press with plastic (those disposable grocery fruit bags work or cut a zip lock along the seam to form two separate squares) Rolling pin, roll the dough out on top of plastic. 

Tortilla Press

1. Heat a flat skillet on Medium high.
2. Set your dough ball on the press, cover with second plastic square, and press. Voila. Or roll out your dough with rollin pin. Take the formed shell, and gently remove it from plastic and set in pan. Cook for 2 minutes per side. 

Cooking Tortilla Shell

1. Place the cooked shells under a tea towel and continue until all shells are cooked. 
2. Now you can freeze these to use later, or use right away. It is that easy. 
3. Enjoy!
