HOMEMADE CORN TORTILLAS
 
INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups instant corn masa flour*
  • 1¼ cup water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
PREPARATION
  1. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together all ingredients until a soft dough is formed. If dough is too dry or too sticky add water or masa flour, respectively, one tablespoon at a time and mix until desired consistency is reached.
  2. Pinch off 1-2" diameter balls and roll between hands until smooth. Set aside on a plate covered with a damp paper towel until ready to cook.
  3. When ready to cook, preheat small cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
  4. Using a tortilla press, flatten each ball of dough between two sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap.
  5. To cook tortillas, carefully peel away from both pieces of wax paper and lay flat in center of hot skillet. Cook for 30 seconds per side or until they start to create air bubbles and brown.
  6. Serve immediately or place in a tortilla warmer to keep warm.
