"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
It takes a little practice to make the tortillas correctly. You will probably throw away a lot of them the first time you try.

Cook them on a Griddle, not in a pan. Spray Pam on the griddle and wait until it gets hot. Put a couple of drops of water on the griddle, and if they bounce and make a noise, it is ready.

You will only use 1 big tablespoon of tortilla batter - then you spread it around into a circle or oval. It doesn't take long to make these. Remember, practice makes perfect!
