Blond Chicana Corn Tortillas are a staple in Mexican cuisine, often served alongside a variety of tacos, enchiladas, and other dishes. These tortillas are made with masa harina, a special corn flour that is mixed with water to create a dough. Once the dough is formed, it is flattened into thin rounds and cooked on a skillet or griddle. The result is a delicious and flavorful tortilla that is perfect for any meal. Whether you are making tacos for dinner or serving up breakfast burritos, these corn tortillas are a must-have in your recipe collection.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, combine the masa harina and cold water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
2.	Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
3.	Using a tortilla press or rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin round tortilla.
4.	Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil or shortening.
5.	Cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes on each side, until cooked through and lightly browned.
6.	Serve warm and enjoy!
