Many home cooks making tortillas use a tortilla press, a device which is designed to produce even, round tortillas by compressing them between two heavy metal dies.
I found a tortilla press on the Internet and it works great. I divide the dough into about 35 gm. portions, put between the waxed paper in the press and close it and press down.
You can make corn tortillas at home if you have a tortilla press. Just mix masa harina with enough water to make a bread-like dough, press the dough until it's very thin, and then cook the tortilla in a hot, dry frying pan.
