    Corn tortillas are easy and taste great fresh. Buy Masa Harina and use the recipe on the bag. (2 cups masa harina, ½ tsp salt, 1½-2 cups hot water.)

    If you aren’t sure enough to buy a 5-pound bag, Bob’s Red Mill sells a 624-gram bag with complete instructions on the back. Remember to plan ahead to let the dough rest an hour to absorb the water, and have waxed paper or a cut ziploc bag to flatten it between.

    Don’t try to use corn meal or polenta. The nixtamalization of the corn before grinding is important.

    Flour tortillas aren’t hard either, plenty recipes online.
