Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Masa harina (corn flour)
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 small amount Non-stick spray
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the masa harina and salt.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms. The dough should feel like playdough—soft but not sticky. Add a teaspoon of water if too dry or a sprinkle of masa harina if too wet.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each one into a ball. Cover the balls with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out while you work.
Place one dough ball between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a tortilla press or a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a thin, round tortilla, about 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly spray with non-stick spray. Once hot, carefully remove the plastic wrap from a tortilla and place it on the skillet.
Cook the tortilla for about 30 seconds on the first side, then flip and cook for another 30-45 seconds on the second side. Finally, flip once more and cook for an additional 10 seconds. The tortilla should puff slightly and develop light brown spots.
Remove the cooked tortilla from the skillet and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm and pliable. Repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
