  When ready to cook, separate into 1" to 2" balls (depending on how large you want your tortillas) Place waxed paper on both sides of balls and smash down evenly to desired size Alternate: Use a tortilla press if you have one

  Preheat non-stick griddle or large heavy non-stick skillet to medium high heat Note: I use a large West Bend electric non-stick griddle that will lhold 4 tortillas at a time. Remove waxed paper and lay tortillas on the heated surface. Cook about 1 to 2 minutes until just beginning to show brown spots. Flip over and cook the other other side the same way. Remove to a serving platter or tortilla warmer. Best served while hot.

  NOTE: If you don't use all the tortillas now, the unused ones can be stored in the fridge in a ziplock bag for a week or so and used as necessary. Just take out when needed, cover with a paper towel and zap in the microwave for about 20 seconds
