I love these tortillas - they are chewier and better tasting than regular all white flour tortillas. I too skipped the cornstarch and used flour to roll them out in. I also made a mistake and put in 2 TBs of oil instead of the 2 tsp the recipe called for. They turned out very well despite my mis-measuring the oil. Super easy & quick.

These were good. I added a touch of garam marsala to add a bit of kick (and to go along with the lentil soup I made for dinner) and were super easy to make. I used flour to roll out the tortillas instead of corn starch which worked out just fine and we found that we liked these cooked fairly well done. Next I make these I'll add a touch more salt, but all in all... good stuff!

These were pretty good. I was not sure what to think of the cornstarch. It made rolling out the tortillas easy, but they were still a bit too powdery even when cooked.
