I use a food processor with the dough blade. I add a 1/3 cup of corn to
it.
One does not need a food processor. Just make the dough first like on
the bag, then create a hole in the dough add corn, mix it in by hand. I
got the idea from the Victory Garden Show on PBS a few years ago.

I see others cut up a plastic bag for use on the press. I use parchment
paper. Lower cost and works just as good, in my opinion.

I often play around with the dough by adding different spices. None of
them much better than extra corn. For me homemade tortilla only taste
good the day they are made. The next day I fry, bake or toss the extras
in the garbage can.
