1
Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add water, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
2
Divide the Dough
Divide the dough into equal portions. Each portion should be about the size of a golf ball.
3
Flatten the Dough
Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
4
Cook the Tortillas
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30-45 seconds on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
5
Keep Warm
Stack the cooked tortillas on a plate and cover with a towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
