Make the Corn Tortillas
In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms. Divide the dough into small balls, then flatten each ball between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper using a tortilla press or rolling pin. Cook each tortilla on a hot skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through.
