DIRECTIONS

Sauce: Simmer tomato sauce and chili powder in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; allow to cook while making tortillas.

Tortillas: Mix milk, cornstarch to smooth paste. Add milk-cornstarch mixture, cornmeal, salt to beaten eggs. Stir in melted butter. Pour 3 tablespoons mixture for each tortilla into buttered, heated 6-inch skillet. Brown on one side; turn; brown on other side; keep warm in oven until all are made.
