Continue to add water until a soft, cohesive dough is formed.
Heat a comal, tapa or griddle to medium heat.
Then, form a ball of dough into a flattened disk, cupping the outside edges a bit to form a round.
Using a bollilo or rolling pin, roll into a round disk about 1/8 inch thick and about 8 inches in diameter or to your preference.
Bake one at a time on a hot griddle until the surface bubbles.
