Ingrediente

240g masa harina

330g cups hot water

¼ teaspoon salt

Instrucțiuni

Dough

Add the masa harina and salt to a mixing bowl and combine. Then, add in 1 ½ cups (approximately 330 grams) of water to start with and mix together with a spatula to prevent burning your hands.

When it's cool enough to handle, knead the dough with your hands to form a ball that's sticky enough to stay together, but not coming off on your hands too much.

If the dough appears too crumbly, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you're able to form a texture similar to play dough. If it becomes too sticky, add a little more masa harina. Cover the bowl with a tea towel.

Rolling

Preheat a seasoned cast-iron skillet or comal slowly to medium or medium-high while you roll and press the tortillas. If you are using a regular frying pan, preheat it with no oil.

Break off pieces of the dough to form small balls (~40 grams each). Roll each piece between your palms until smooth, keeping the rest of the dough under a towel so it stays moist.

Pressing

If you have a tortilla press, cut a freezer bag into 2 pieces that will fit into the press (one for each side of the tortilla).

Open the press and place a ball of dough in the center on a piece of plastic. Place the other plastic piece on top and close the press to form tortillas about 5 inches in diameter.

If you don't have a tortilla press, place your ball of dough between the same 2 pieces of plastic on your counter. Press the tortilla down with the bottom of a baking dish or flat plate. Or, use a rolling pin.

Cooking

Gently add a tortilla to the hot pan and cook on the first side for 10 seconds. Flip and cook for another 40-50 seconds, then flip once more and cook until brown spots are forming and the tortilla puffs up, about 40 seconds.

Remove the tortilla from heat, and wrap it in a tea towel or tortilla warmer while you cook the rest. Serve warm with tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and more. Happy eating!
