Tortilla Dough
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to make. The tortilla dough comes together in just a few minutes, but don't forget to let it "rest" for about 20 minutes so it won't tear when rolling. Try not to roll the pieces too wide — use your skillet's width as a guide. Remember that you need three times as much corn flour as wheat flour. It can be served warm or chilled.
