Ingredients
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, add masa, water and salt. Hand mix to form a dough and knead for 2 minutes. It should have the consistency of playdough. If the dough feels too dry, add 1 teaspoon water at a time and continue kneading. It should not be too wet as to be too sticky.
Rest the masa dough for 10 minutes in the bowl, covered with a damp cloth.
Form the dough into 16 golf-ball-sized balls.
Line a tortilla press with plastic wrap and press each of the balls into a flat tortilla. If you do not have a press, use a rolling pin and get them nice and flat. Keep the tortillas on a plate covered with a damp cloth so they don't dry out.
Heat pan to medium-high heat.
Dry cook the corn tortillas on the hot pan for 1-2 minutes on the first side, until they begin to brown and puff up, then flip and cook 30-60 seconds more until browned and cooked through.
Keep warm and serve.
