You're not alone!  Once you try this simple recipe, you'll never use them again.  As for flour tortillas, I was hooked on them, but once I tried fresh corn tortillas, I never went back. These tortillas are not only simple, but very healthy.  They’re made with just 3 ingredients and are gluten and preservative-free.  You can use for tacos, enchiladas or by themselves with salsa or guacamole.  Try them at your next gathering.  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.  Mix until dough forms a soft ball.  It will be playdough consistency. Roll dough into eight, 1” balls. Cut a gallon-sized plastic bag in half. Place 1 ball of dough inside the bag and using a pie plate or tortilla press, press the dough into a flat tortilla. Heat a large skillet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.  Place the tortilla in the skillet for ~1 minute, then flip and cook the other side. Place on a plate and cover with a clean towel to steam them a bit before serving. Makes 8 small tortillas.  Nutrition information per serving:  53 calories, .6 gm fat, 11 gm carbohydrate, 1 gm protein, 1.1 fiber, 0 mg cholesterol, 37 mg sodium.
