Check items as you go.

• 2 cups masa
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ½ cups warm water

Method

1. Add 2 cups masa harina and ½ tsp salt too a mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of the warm water and stir until the water is absorbed. Add the rest of the water incrementally until the flour melds into the dough. Use your hands to knead the dough into a cohesive ball

2. If the dough is sticking to your hands simply add a few sprinkles of masa to dry it out. If the dough is still crumbly then you can add splashes of water until it becomes cohesive

3. Separate the dough into golf ball sized chunks, this will make tortillas approx 4 inches across

4. Flatten the dough balls using a flat bottomed pan or tortilla press. Be sure to line each side of the dough ball with plastic or parchment paper

5. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat

6. Add a tortilla to the skillet and flip it after 10 seconds. Then cook each side for about a minute or until light brown spots are forming on the underside.

7. Continue cooking the rest of the tortillas. You can keep them warm wrapped in a tea towel. Serve immediately!
