I've tried like 3 different recipes, and I'm just having a hard time. They all come out fine, but the problem seems to be that when I cook them, they come out too thick or stiff, and will break if I try to wrap closed-ended burritos. Then when they go in the fridge, they wind up rock-hard. I mean, I can wrap them in a wet towel & microwave them, and they're soft, but I need something that will allow me to keep them thin and soft. Can I do that without a tortilla press?
If the dough feels too gummy, I'll put in more water, but if the recipe calls for so much that the balls squish back together when I put them down to rest for 10 or 15 or whatever it calls for, then I'll add flour. Then I always dust flour on the counter to keep them from sticking when I roll them out, and I'm starting to think this is part of the problem. I need advice from a Mexican grandma, I think.
