Corn Tortillas Recipe

Tortilla Preparation

1. 1

   Mix the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a soft dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Knead the dough for a few 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.

3. 3

   Divide the Dough

   Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

4. 4

   Flatten the Tortillas

   Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten each ball between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper until about 1/8 inch thick.

5. 5

   Cook the Tortillas

   Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, until lightly browned and cooked through.

6. 6

   Keep Warm

   Wrap the cooked tortillas in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
