Ingredients

  • 2 cups Masa Harina tortilla flour
  • 1 cup water

Directions

Combine tortilla flour with water; mix with hands until dough is moist but holds its shape (add more water if needed). Let stand 15 minutes. Divide dough into 12 balls. Dampen dough slightly with water. Using a tortilla press or flat baking dish, press a ball of dough between sheets of waxed paper to a 6-inch round. Carefully peel off top sheet of paper. Place tortilla , paper side up, on hot ungreased griddle or skillet. Gently peel off remaining sheet of paper. Cook about 30 seconds or till edges begin to dry. Turn; cook till surface appears puffy. Repeat with remaining dough. Makes 12 tortillas.
