I make - Corn Tortilla

First time making corn tortilla for tacos tonight. Worked out marvelously. 

Corn tortilla

1 cup pre-cooked corn meal such as PAN (I used white corn version)
2 tsp ground flaxseeds
1/2 tsp salt
1 ~ 1 1/4 cup water

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Stir in water 1/4 cup at a time to the flour bowl. Knead the dough a few times when most of the water is in. I find a gloved or wet hand helpful. Depending on where you live, you may need more or less of the specified water. Your aim is to obtain one cohesive and nonsticky dough ball. Rest the dough for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into 6 pieces. Flatten each piece and roll out to a circle of 16-cm. It's easier to do that between two sheets of cling film or baking paper. The dough will be thin. Dry roast each tortilla in a skillet on medium heat until it starts to puff. Remove the tortilla to a plate. Cover with a tea towel when you roast the next.
