Cut the tortilla dough into equal portions and form balls with your hands.

With the help of a floured roller, spread the ball until it forms a thin tortilla.

Heat a comal over medium heat and cook the tortilla 1 minute on each side. Cook the tortilla until it inflates, remove it from the comal and enjoy it warmly.

TIPS

Remember that whenever you make a dough the water is absorbed according to how the dough needs it, do not pour out the water at once, pour the water little by little as your dough asks for it.
