cover dough and let rest for 10 minutes
divide dough into 10 balls, or more depending on how big or small you want your tortillas. cover and let rest again for 10 minutes.
heat a comal (griddle), or large cast iron pan over high heat. do not oil griddle or pan, must be dry.
take 1 small ball of dough and use a rolling pin to roll it into a disk. as thin or thick as you want. sprinkle flour on your work surface to prevent sticking. (if you have a tortilla press use it here)
lay the rolled out tortilla onto the hot griddle/pan. let cook on one side for 20 seconds and flip. a few brown spots will appear and it might even puff up a little. remove and keep warm in a clean kitchen towel or tortilla warmer.
