Almost from Scratch Corn Tortillas

This recipe actually worked, and the tortillas were delicious.

In the past, I tried pressing tortillas using masa that had already been made (could purchase in the refrigerated section of the hispanic market). However, I could never get the tortilla to release from the plastic that you use to line the press.

This time I changed two things - I used a bag of masa harina and prepared it according to this recipe, and instead of plastic to line the press, I used parchment paper. I am pretty sure the parchment made all the difference in pressing, but the resulting tortillas were delicious.

My only quibble with the recipe is that it states that its enough for a taco party. That is true if your party is only for three people! The three of us had no problem demolishing the tortillas, which we used to prepare Smitten Kitchen's charred corn tacos, which I previously reviewed here. It was a delicious summer dinner.
