I have looked on the net for recipes, but they tend to use ingredients not available here. I have corn meal flour , does anyone have a recipe that uses this as its base?

Bumping for you so hopefully someone can help..
I did a search - left of your screen - there are plenty of threads with tortilla's in.. none I could see for how to make them..

You cannot make corn tortillas with corn meal flour. You need to go through the whole process of making Masa harina - or find it in some speciality shop. Even then it is not the same as a properly made corn tortilla. Best to make do with flour tortillas.

Try Mexican specialties in Ellerslie for ingredients.

you can buy it instead of mucking about making it. Long before the Spanish introduced wheat flour to México, the natives discovered how to derive whole protein from corn. By boiling dried corn kernels with lime, they chanced upon a chemistry that turns corn into a more nutritious food of complete protein. The lime-treated corn, called Masa de Maiz, became the staple of a burgeoning population and remains today the major food source in México.
