I made tortillas for the first time today. They look kind of odd, the first ones even more so than the last, but they taste good. I started them the other day with dried corn which I soaked, and then cooked with some wood ash that I saved out of the fireplace earlier this year for just this purpose - got the idea from "Wild Fermentation" by Sandor Katz (though this is not a fermented product; he mentions it in connection with something else he was making). I think I probably cooked it too long - I put the corn and ash in the slow cooker, and went into town, figuring it would take a long time. But the corn got kind of mushy so it was hard to get the hulls off. I've never had really fresh tortillas (never been to Mexico 
), so I can't say how these measured up to the "real thing", but they taste good with fermented black beans (see the fermenting thread). Quite a bit of work for 12 tortillas, but it was fun, and I'll certainly do it again.

Good for you!!!
