Tortillas (Fresh Corn Tortillas)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups masa harina corn flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix the masa harina and salt.
  • Gradually add the warm water, stirring until the dough comes together. It should be soft but not sticky. If it’s too dry, add more water a little at a time.
  • Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
  • Using a tortilla press (or rolling pin), flatten each ball between two sheets of plastic wrap to form a thin round tortilla.
  • Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side, until slightly golden and cooked through.
  • Wrap the cooked tortillas in a clean towel to keep warm.
