Homemade Corn Tortillas

My Mom gave me a tortilla press for my birthday this year.  I like flour tortillas the best and hope to get good at making them but since corn tortillas seemed easier I thought I would start with those.  My friend Amy mills her own flours and gave me some fresh milled corn to use.  I mixed the corn with water until a dough formed and then divided the dough up into balls which I pressed between parchment paper on my new tortilla press.  It worked like a charm. I fried them up and  here is my first batch.  Not the prettiest but- served up with chorizo, beans, cheese and fresh salsa- delicious!
