I just made corn tortillas for the first time using Maseca instant
corn masa flour. I followed the recipe on the bag. Making the dough
was easy; rolling the pieces out between 2 sheets of plastic (zip-lok
1 gallon bag) was easy. What I didn't really get the hang of was
cooking the tortillas on the cast iron skillet. At least, not so they
looked like the ones at the supermarket.
Are there any experienced corn tortilla cooks here? What are the
clues to 'done?'
P.S. I did overwork the dough and made the tortillas somewhat tough.
I'll know better next time.
Any other tips?

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert
Walker Bush (GHWB), the current but ailing patriarch of the Bush Family
Dynasty – I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly
not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather
who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death.
This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.

In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.
