To Make the Homemade Tortillas

Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the masa harina and salt. Gradually add the water, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water, one tablespoon at a time.

Divide the Dough
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth to keep them moist.

Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten each ball between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper to form a thin tortilla.
