Notes
You can easily make this recipe by hand, it will just take a but longer! Everywhere the recipe says to use the mixer, you will plan to mix/knead your dough for up to five minutes. If you do not have a tortilla press, I would still use the parchment paper method. Placing your dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper to be able to roll it out thinly. After rolling out your tortilla, remove one side of the parchment, but leave the other side stuck to the tortilla. Place the tortilla on the hot pan or griddle and allow it to cook for 30 seconds before removing the second sheet go parchment from the top of the tortilla. This will help the tortilla keep its shape during transfer to the stove as well as keep it from shrinking up once it is placed on direct heat!
