Can I Use Corn Flour as an Alternative to Masa Harina for Tortillas?

If not, anything I can do that’s adjacent to Tortillas with these stuff.

  1. AP Flour/Corn Flour
  2. Tortilla Press
  3. Eggs?
  4. Yogurt?
  5. No Rolling Pin, and small countertop space.
  6. Air Fryer or Stove

Bonus if I can make a lot ahead of time, and just cook/reheat throughout the week.

    Even with flour tortilla dough, I’ve had success pressing them. I think the trick is not to over-knead because that develops the gluten. And also work in the lard by hand or with a pastry cutter, which also tamps down gluten. The tortillas I get this way aren’t super duper thin, but that’s fine by me given the ease of making them. FYI I use the bottom of a pot, not a real press.
