Making Tortillas

Wednesday night, we had the opportunity to attempt to make tortillas with the women at Juanna's house. First, they washed the corn, then they ground it to a powder. After that, they added water, and you have at the entire making round disks. They make it look so easy! So most of us gave it a try. My first one looked like a triangle. Others were more fortunate with mishapened circles. By the end, some of our tortillas were looking almost round, but they were still much fatter than the ones the women made without even putting effort into it. It definitely was an adventure, especially with the women laughing at us as we'd try and try again, even when we messed up!
