Combine the wheat flour, corn flour and salt. Add the vinegar and water and knead a semi hard dough.

Roll out the dough into flat circles and make holes on the tortilla with a fork.
Cook them half way through on a tava and cut them into triangles.
Fry the triangles in medium hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Toss with salt and paprika to season.
