Ingredients

  • 250 g (2 cups) Masa Harina flour
  • 250 ml (1 cup) warm water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients together and knead until you can form a ball of dough.
  • If you have time, let it rest for a bit, covered by a tea-towel. If not, it doesn't matter too much.
  • Make small (about the size of a golf ball) balls of the dough. Each one will be one tortilla. The amount above is enough for 10 or 12 tortillas, depending on how big you like them.
  • Cut up a Ziploc bag or parchment paper and lay it over the open tortilla press.
  • Place a ball of the Corn Tortilla into the middle of the tortilla press.
  • Close the tortilla press using the handle to flatten the Corn Tortilla dough.
  • Open the tortilla press and check your dough if it is not thin enough you can press it once more
  • If it the tortilla is much wider on one side than another, turn it round (so the fat side is nearer the hinge) and squeeze again.
  • Then cook on a frying pan or a flat griddle. You don't need oil. They are done when they start to puff up or have brown spots on them.
  • And when they are done, wrap in a tea towel to keep them soft.
