Equipment

  • Tortilla Press
  • Skillet

Materials

  • 1 1/2 cups White Corn Masa Flour
  • 2 TBSP Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Warm Water Make sure your water is very warm, almost hot.

Instructions

  • Add all dry ingredients into a medium bowl. Give a quick stir to combine.
  • Pour 3/4 cup of water in and stir to combine. Add remaining water, if needed, to form a dough. Your dough should not be too sticky but not crumbly.
  • Divide your dough into individual 1-2" dough balls.
  • Using a tortilla press, place each ball in between a Ziploc bag, with the sides and zipper part cut off. Press to form your tortilla (see above in the blog post for full description).
  • One at a time heat each tortilla on a hot skillet for 30 seconds on each side. You want your dough to cook but not become crispy.
  • Serve them warm right away or store in the fridge, warming them up later when ready to eat!
