Superbowl Tortillas

I recently learned how easy it is to make corn tortillas. Even easier if you get a tortilla press instead of rolling them by hand!

For the superbowl, I made chili con queso WITHOUT velvetta, thanks to Homesick Texan: http://homesicktexan.blogspot.com/2008/04/more-natural-chile-con-queso.html
I LOVE queso and this was fantastic. We served it in a fondue pot to keep it warm and delicious.


I HAD to make tortillas to deliver this yumminess.


The recipe is on the bag of masa. You just mix masa and water and then roll into balls. Press between layers of parchment paper or saran in the press (or roll out with a pin). Then cook in a hot dry pan for about a minute each side.
