Anyway, I don't think you can sand mortar, but it doesn't stick to
the wood too aggressively. You should be able to hammer most of it
off, then get most of the rest with a tile removal tool (big, heavy
scraper).

The current tile actually isn't very flat. Its small 1 inch square
tile that is about a 1/4 thick. The floor already consists of the
original subfloor, a layer of vinyl flooring, then the 1/2 inch
plywood, and the the ceramic tile that I am removing. I didn't want
to put the flooring down on top of the tile because its already higher
than the rest of the flooring that is in contact with. I was hoping
to avoid scraping all of the mortar off because its a pretty large
area and I'm thinking its going to take alot of time and work to get
it smooth.

Ah, I was thinking 12" tiles. Anyway, if you have an air-compressor, this
gizmo will chisel most anything up:
