Description

These are so simple and delicious, you may never used store-bought again!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Corn Masa Flour
  • 1-¼ cup Water
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt

Preparation

Combine all ingredients into a bowl and knead for two minutes to form a soft dough. If dough feels dry, add a spoonful of water at a time.

Roll into little 2-inch balls and cover with a moist towel.

Heat a small nonstick pan or flat griddle over medium/high heat. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the bottom of a tortilla press, place a dough ball on it, cover with another piece of plastic wrap and press down hard.

Carefully place the tortilla on the hot pan and cook for 50–60 seconds on each side.

Enjoy!

Note: You can use multiple pans while doing this and it makes the cooking process zoom by!

Because of this recipe, I may just have to go buy a tortilla press. Thanks for making me buy one more gadget I don’t have room for!

Delicious and simple, although I did not add the salt. Now I just need a press so mine are round.

I make these all the time! I will never buy the little flaps of cardboard disguised as tortillas again. Once you get a feel for the dough they are super easy, and light years yummier than the grocery store ones. Ooh, I’m craving one right now.
