Ingredients
- 2 cups Masa harina
- 1.5 cups Warm water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the masa harina with the warm water.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients using your hands until a soft, pliable dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of warm water at a time until it reaches the desired texture.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 4
Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out while you work.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Step 6
If you have a tortilla press, place one dough ball between two pieces of parchment paper and flatten into a thin circle. If you don’t have a press, use a rolling pin to achieve the same result.
Step 7
Carefully peel the tortilla off the parchment paper and place it onto the hot skillet.
Step 8
Cook the tortilla for about 30 seconds on the first side, then flip it and cook for another 1 minute on the second side. Flip once more and cook for an additional 30 seconds until slightly puffy and lightly browned in spots.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked tortilla to a clean kitchen towel and keep it covered to stay warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
Step 10
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite low-sodium fillings or dishes.
