Flatten each portion until it's about ¼ inch thick; avoid making them too thin to prevent ripping.
Place the flattened portions on parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced about half an inch apart. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Heat a comal or skillet over medium to high heat.
Cook each tortilla for 3-4 minutes on each side.
As each tortilla cooks, cover it with a cloth to keep them warm.
Serve with your choice of fillings.
