How to make blue corn tortillas?

In a bowl mix all the ingredients except water. Add warm water gradually and keep a check on the consistency.

Mix until a soft and doughy consistency is formed.

The dough should be slightly sticky but not wet. If the dough is too dry add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired level.

Transfer the dough to lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Form each portion into a ball and flatten slightly.

Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, press or roll each ball into a thin and even circle about 6 inches in diameter.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Place a tortilla on the hot surface and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side until it is slightly puffed and lightly golden.

After cooking those from both sides tortillas will be cooked. Now stack them on a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and pliable.
