Homemade Corn Tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina (plus more for dusting/adjusting)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the masa harina and salt. Pour in the warm water. Mix with a wooden spoon until incorporated.
- Knead on a surface dusted with masa. You want the texture to feel like soft playdough. Not sticky, and not too crumbly. If it's too wet, add more masa. If it's too dry and crumbly, ad more water a TBSP at a time.
- Form into a ball and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide into 16 pieces (about 38g each). Roll into balls.
- Place plastic on a tortilla press. Add a ball of the dough to the center, and cover with another piece of plastic. Press until nice and thin.
- In a cast iron pan or non stick, cook the tortillas about 40-60 seconds per side.
- To serve (if you want them crispier) reheat in a pan with a drizzle of oil and fry for 30 seconds per side.
