We had the opportunity to make tortillas with our host family.
The mixture is one part flour, one part corn meal and it is mixed with water to make a dough
We rolled it into balls and then using plastic and a plate we flattened them.
I have seen them cooked on large flat stones as well as on metal frying pans without sides- I think a regular uncrowded pan will work fine.

How delicious! I can't resist a corn tortilla!
being mexican i LOVE tortillas, although if I wanna keep my figure i have to keep tortillas to a minimum :) Those pictures are SO CUTE!!!
I could eat tortillas all day long if I had the chance - particularly if you add a little sharp cheese (a sharp cheddar or goat cheese would work nicely) with some black beans. Thank the lord I live in Southern California where good Mexican food is right around every corner. :)
Do I enjoy them? Oh dear is that an understatement - LOVE them. I am an Arizona girl, been eating them all my life. Nothing beats fresh homemade and we are lucky to have a several local places here where we can get them. We love them with our eggs in the morning :)
I've never tried to make them myself though.
I have never made tortillas but enjoy eating them. It looks like it would not be too difficult to
make them. Guatemala, what an exciting adventure you are all having. Love the pictures.
I love tortillas, but the one time we tried to make them at home it was like a hurricane went through our house!
I am so jealous that you are in Guatemala!!
you're in Guatemala???
so. jealous.
i'd love a fresh tortilla right about now...
there is NOTHING better than fresh tortillas. i remember visiting my dad's amma in mexico and she would always make them for us. they're heavenly.
so lucky you are to be in Guatemala! Couch surfing I suppose.
I love tortillas! It's so great you all get to make them yourselves- yum!
Wow! What a wonderful adventure. I wish you could mail me some of those yummy tortillas, so much better than store bought!
LOVE them! I'm also fond of the Carta Blanca in the first photo! It sounds like you're having a good time. Enjoy!

this has inspired me to give them a try.
simple as 1 part of each and just some water? cool!
and should the dough be a little sticky or dry?
i'm envious you guys are in G. we only made it to Mexico (from UK).
My mother always makes her own tortillas.... such a treat! This looks like so much fun! Enjoy the rest of your trip.

That looks heavenly! You've got me drooling over here. And it looks like the boys are having such fun trying something new.
I love tortillas! Something I rarely eat and I don't know why. p.s. I have tagged you over at mine - I hope you don't mind, you can ignore if you want to :)
