Tortilla Ingredients
Method
Tortilla Preparation Steps
- 1
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina and salt. Mix well to ensure that the salt is evenly distributed.
- 2
Add Water
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, mixing with your hands or a spoon until it comes together into a dough.
- 3
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, one tablespoon at a time. If it’s too wet, add a bit more masa harina.
- 4
Divide the Dough
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
- 5
Preheat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot.
- 6
Shape the Tortillas
Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
- 7
Cook the Tortillas
Place the shaped tortilla on the hot skillet and cook for about 30-45 seconds on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- 8
Keep Warm
As you cook the tortillas, stack them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm and pliable until ready to serve.
