• Corn tortillas are one of the staples of Mexican
  cooking. They have a long history in the native
  culinary traditions of this region and were eaten
  by many indigenous cultures, including the
  Aztecs.
• There are three varieties white, yellow, and
  blue all depending upon the type of corn flour
  you use. Feel free to try different varieties for
  subtle differences in flavor as well as added
  visual appeal.
• One tool that you will need is a specialized
  tortilla press. Those made out of cast iron have
  a satisfying heft and will make the process much
  easier and your results more uniform.
