Directions

300 gr masa harina
5 gr salt
Step 2
Add the water to the bowl and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes in the mixing bowl until it is smooth and forms a cohesive ball. If you feel that the dough breaks/crumbles add some water and keep kneading it until you get a homogenous dough. The texture of the dough should feel similar to playdough.
300 ml warm water (about 130°F or 50°C)
Step 3
Place the dough in a bowl, covered with a towel, and let it rest for 10-20 min. Some people will say it is not necessary to let the dough rest, but I'm a baker and it's in my nature.
Step 4
Divide the dough into ping-pong size pieces. Round each of them to a ball.
Step 5
Place the dough ball between two pieces of parchment paper in a tortilla press. Then gently press the dough ball until it forms a 5-inch tortilla.
Step 6
Begin baking by removing the tortilla off the tortillas press quickly onto a preheated flat pan.
Step 7
Let the tortilla bake on the first side for 30-40 sec.
Step 8
Then flip them quickly. Bake for another 30-40 sec.
Step 9
Remove the tortillas from the pan. Cover them with a towel in order to keep them soft and warm.
Step 10
YASSS!
