It doesn't take long to make if you have those little dough presses that make the crimped edges. This came from my efforts to make fritters for my husband like his mom used to make. Success!! :)The cook time will be..."

"I wanted tortillas to go with tonight's dinner but was out of them. So I went searching for a recipe that did not contain any fat. I found this one, and tweaked it a bit, in one of my favorite cookbooks "500 Fat Free Recipes." My husband could not get enough of them. We dipped them into soup and made bean burritos out of them."

"This is my Grandmother's recipe for tortillas--she dictated it to me in very broken English! :) Panamanian Tortillas are completely unlike Mexican Tortillas.

"I've had various tasty arepas before, usually the storebought kind, and I'd always get frustrated because the store by me only sells the ones that are just corn cakes with some cheese in the dough, not the kind I got in my freshman year of college that had the corny, cheesy dough but were chock full of real gooey cheese in the middle! So I..."
