Fish-tastic

I've been in a real Mexican fiesta kind of mood. Tonight we had fish tacos, one of my favorite dinners.  Matt Hamilton, if you're reading this post don't let your mind wander to the gutter. I'm talking about a food product. A couple of months ago I decided to get fancy. After seeing Nathan's twin sister making her own tortillas I decided I should try. To further push me into the arena of tortilla production was the much appreciated gift of a tortilla press from Mom & Dad. ( Thanks guys, I'm putting it to good use!) You could easily just use your hands or a rolling pin. The press just makes it look nicer. I found a super easy recipe on Pinterest, where I find the answer to most DIY adventures. 

FLOUR TORTILLAS
Makes 6 (can easily be doubled or tripled)

Step 1:
Mix 1.5 c. flour
      1/2 tsp. salt
      1/4 tsp baking powder

Then add 2 Tbsp. Canola oil
Mix till crumbly

Next add 1/2 c. HOT WATER 
I just run the tap water till I can't stand to hold my hand under the faucet any longer.
It will start to look like dough. Let rest for 30 minutes (I never do, I'm too hungry)

Make 6 even balls and flatten slightly before putting them in the tortilla press. You can do this with a rolling pin or your hands if you don't have a press. 

Warm a skillet on medium/high heat. I do one at a time in a NON-GREASED pan. No butter/pam/oil. I've even done these on my cast iron grill pan. These puppies are like pancakes. The first couple look goofy but taste fine. The last couple ones will look the most appealing. 

Now fill them up! Depending on how long you keep them in the pan they are either pliable enough to bend like a store bought tortilla. Some become a little crunchy. I eat them like a mini Mexican pizza.
