Homemade corn tortillas are pressed between wax paper in a tortilla press and then cooked to perfection in a skillet in about a minute. You can pick up a tortilla press at your local kitchen accessories store, but if you don’t have one, you can roll them out with a rolling pin. Leftover Corn Tortillas can also be turned into your own homemade tortilla chips.
- 1¾ cups Masa Harina
- 1⅛ cups water - increase if needed
- In a medium bowl, mix together the Masa Harina and hot water thoroughly.
- Knead the dough until it is pliable, adding water if it begins to feel dry.
- Cover dough with plastic wrap and allow to stand for 30 minutes.
- Preheat a skillet to medium high heat.
- Divide the dough into 15 equal-sized balls.
- Using a tortilla press, press each ball of dough flat between two sheets of plastic wrap. If you do not have a tortilla press, you can do this with a rolling pin, but it will take a little more time.
- Place tortilla in the pan for about 30 seconds, flipping and allowing to cook another 30 seconds.
- Place in between paper towels until ready to eat.
