How I did it:

• Bought a tortilla press and some masa.
• Read the recipe on the side of the masa package for making corn tortillas.
• Put the ingredients in a mixer, and once ready, rolled the dough into golf-ball sized balls.
• Pressed the dough ball between sheets of wax paper in the tortilla press.
• Lightly cooked both sides of the tortilla in an ungreased pan.

Lessons & tips: The water and masa recipe on the side of the package can be slightly boring.  You can add a small amount of salt, chili powder, cumin, chopped cilantro, or other various spices to help spruce up and personalize your tortillas a bit.
