Tortilla Ingredients

Method

Tortilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Dough

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

  2. 2

    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, a tablespoon at a time.

  3. 3

    Divide the Dough

    Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

  4. 4

    Flatten the Balls

    Using a tortilla press or a heavy skillet, flatten each ball into a round tortilla 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 30-45 seconds on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Keep Warm

    As you cook the tortillas, keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.
