Ingredients
- 1 C masa harina (dried corn flour)
- 1 t salt
- 1 C water
Instructions
- Cut a zipper bag so it can open flat
- Mix dry ingredients together
- Form a well in the center of the masa
- Add 1/2 C water and mix by hand
- Slowly add water until it forms into a firm dough ball that holds its shape
- More or less water may be needed
- Pinch off a golf ball sized piece of dough and roll into a ball until smooth
- Place dough ball on one side of the zipper bag and fold bag over the dough
- You can lightly flour the bag or use non-stick spray
- Place a hard flat object on top of dough ball and slowly and evenly flatten to 1/8-inch
- A cutting board works
- Carefully peel off the top of the bag and flip tortilla into your hand
- Place tortilla on a skillet set to medium high
- Cook for about one minute, flip and cook another minute
- Stack cooked tortillas on a towel-lined plate and cover with the towel
- This helps steam the tortillas with their residual heat, making them soft and pliable
