Test dough, if too dry add more water, if too wet add more flour. Wrap with plastic and let rest for 20-30 mins. Remove dough carefully from bowl. Portion dough and form into 2" balls. Flatten with rolling pin or tortilla press (should be about 1/8" thick). Preheat a non-stick or cast iron pan (dry). Cook til brown on both sides, ~1 min per side.
