Ingredients

• 1¾ cups Masa Harina
• 1⅛ cups water - increase if needed

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the Masa Harina and hot water thoroughly.
2. Knead the dough until it is pliable, adding water if it begins to feel dry.
3. Cover dough with plastic wrap and allow to stand for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat a skillet to medium high heat.
5. Divide the dough into 15 equal-sized balls.
