Tortilla Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add water, mixing with your hands or a spatula until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water; if too wet, add a bit more masa harina.
Divide the Dough
Divide the dough into 10-12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Flatten the Tortillas
Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten each ball between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper until they are about 1/8 inch thick.
Keep Warm
Transfer cooked tortillas to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
