Tips
When mixing the dough, if it feels like it needs a little bit more water, just add a little bit at a time.
The dough should not be too dry nor too wet.
To keep the tortilla round and even, rotate it a quarter turn after each roll.
The tortillas should not be too thick nor too thin.
Preheat your comal over a medium heat; it should be hot but not smoking hot.
