Directions
Tortillas
Step 1
In a bowl, mix the masa harina and the salt.
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 them 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!
Squid Taco
Step 1
Isolate the pit of your mango by cutting away the sides. Then make crosswise cuts into the flesh. Cut or peel segments away.
1 mango
Step 2
Slice the red onions as thin as you can, add a pinch of salt and lime juice. The salt and the lime will make the onions less intense and will bring out their perfect acidity.
1 red onion
Kosher salt
½ lime
Step 3
Place all the tomatoes on the grill and let them melt into themselves. Remove from the grill and place in a bowl, mix well into a sauce.
2 lb tomatoes (get them any color and shape they have in the market)
Step 4
Grill the squids until they are caramelized on one side, then flip them and keep cooking until the other side gets caramelized as well.
1 lb squids (I personally prefer to use the tentacles)
Step 5
Assemble the squid tacos: Spread a tablespoon of sour cream on the tortilla. Place the melted tomatoes on top. Add the onions, mango, and cilantro. Add the squids. Finish with a teaspoon of salsa verde.
