Corn Tortillas

I'll admit I was skeptical at first. I'd never really liked tacos made with soft corn tortillas. It was the white flour type or the fried ones I'd been used to. But then my husband found the simplest recipe for homemade corn tortillas, and I was hooked!These tortillas are not only simple, but very healthy. They've got just 3 ingredients and are gluten and preservative-free. They can be used for tacos, enchiladas or by themselves with salsa or guacamole. Try them at your next football party. Your guests will gobble them up!Ingredients1 cup corn masa (ground corn flour)7 oz. warm water1/8 tsp. saltNon-stick cooking spray Directions:Place corn masa in a bowl and add salt and warm water.
