The avatar is Genovevo De La O, a general in Zapata's army of the south, a very interesting guy.
Tortillas (4) it's easy to scale up
1/3 cup masa
a little more than 1/3 cup of water
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon of rendered pork lard
1 whole pasilla ground in molcajete
Put water and lard on stove and boil.
Add boiling water to masa/pepper/salt/chile and mix with a fork
Knead masa on a board until very smooth and homogeneous
Separate to 4 equal-size balls and put in tortilla press
Flatten and cook on a comal....they cook very quickly, less than 1 min
You must have a tortilla press. You can fake it, but only the tortilla press works well.
Masa is in many high-end markets and Mexican markets.
A comal is what we call a skillet.

Thanks for the recipe and instructions.
Yes, De La O is a very interesting guy; from what I just read he must be a hero to the people.
