Method
Mixing Dry Ingredients
- 1
Combine the Flours and Salt
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn flour (masa harina), all-purpose flour, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
Incorporating Wet Ingredients
- 2
Add Water and Oil
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the warm water and vegetable oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until the mixture comes together into a dough.
Kneading the Dough
- 3
Knead Until Smooth
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and pliable. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
Resting the Dough
- 4
Let the Dough Rest
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps to hydrate the flour and makes the tortillas easier to roll out.
Rolling and Cooking Tortillas
- 5
Divide and Roll Out
After resting, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it slightly. Use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.

Cook the Tortillas
Heat a dry skillet or comal over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep cooked tortillas warm in a clean kitchen towel while you cook the remaining tortillas.
