Tortilla Preparation

Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the corn masa harina and salt. Gradually add water, mixing with your hands until a smooth dough forms. It should be moist but not sticky.

Form Tortillas
Divide the dough into 12 equal balls. Use a tortilla press or a rolling pin to flatten each ball between two sheets of plastic wrap until about 1/8 inch thick.

Cook Tortillas
