Homemade Corn Tortillas Recipe (How to Make Corn Tortillas)

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups masa harina
• 1-1/2 cup water

  + more as needed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

  (or to taste)

Instructions

• 1 In a mixing bowl, add masa, water and salt. Hand mix to form a dough and knead
  for 2 minutes. It should have the consistency of playdough. If the dough feels
  too dry, add 1 teaspoon water at a time and continue kneading. It should not be
  too wet as to be too sticky.
• 2 Rest the masa dough for 10 minutes in the bowl, covered with a damp cloth.
• 3 Form the dough into 16 golf-ball-sized balls.
• 4 Line a tortilla press with plastic wrap and press each of the balls into a flat
  tortilla. If you do not have a press, use a rolling pin and get them nice and
  flat. Keep the tortillas on a plate covered with a damp cloth so they don't dry
  out.
• 5 Heat pan to medium-high heat.
• 6 Dry cook the corn tortillas on the hot pan for 1-2 minutes on the first side,
  until they begin to brown and puff up, then flip and cook 30-60 seconds more
  until browned and cooked through.
• 7 Keep warm and serve.
