One of Grace's favorite activities is to play with playdough, so naturally she loved helping me make these homemade corn tortillas. You can find the recipe on the Maseca Corn Flour bag if you decide to try this. I used the parchment paper because it was hard for her to handle the dough without breaking it, and I really wanted her to have an end result that she could actually eat.
This was the extent of her mixing therefore I had to intervene in order to save this helpless dough :)
Ahhh, much better!
Rolling the dough on parchment paper was a little tricky for her but when we tried to roll out the tortilla on the table, it kept sticking and coming up into pieces when she would try to lift it. I don't think making corn tortillas is like making flour tortillas either because if you add more flour to them they just dry up faster and begin to crumble, so the parchment paper worked in this case. Especially since it made her work extra hard on her hand-eye coordination skills :)
I would suggest taping the bottom paper down to the table though.

See, she got creative!
Cooked and filled with her favorite ingredient....CHEESE!
I lazily filled my tortilla with shredded lettuce, tomato, and cheese slices.
