1
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the corn masa harina and salt. Gradually add the warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
2
Knead the Dough
Knead the dough for about 1-2 minutes until it is smooth and pliable. If the dough feels dry, add a little more water, a teaspoon at a time.
3
Divide the Dough
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
4
Flatten the Dough Balls
Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten each ball between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper into a thin circle.
5
Cook the Tortillas
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
6
Keep Warm
Place cooked tortillas in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
