Add to Shopping List
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the corn masa and the salt and mix well.
- Add the hot water, and mix into a soft dough (it should be about as firm as cookie dough).
- Add more water if needed.
- Line a tortilla press with a zip lock bag (I just cut down the sides)
- Divide the dough into roughly 20 dough balls
- Place 1 ball onto the lined tortilla press and .... press.
- Carefully remove the tortilla from the press, and add to a medium hot cast iron skillet.
- Let the tortilla cook about 30 seconds, until the edges look like they're drying... then flip
- Cook a further 45-60 seconds, then flip again - the tortilla will puff up.
- Add tortilla to a towel line tortilla warmer.
- Repeat with remaining dough balls.

Notes
- Are corn tortillas gluten free?
- How to make corn tortillas without a press?
- How to keep homemade corn tortillas soft
- Keep the dough covered
- If the dough gets dry
- Flip the tortillas
- Are corn tortillas gluten free? Yes! As long as you check the product you use - the masa harina is gluten free (as is water and salt)
- How to make corn tortillas without a press? Just grab a rolling pin, and roll out to a very thin, even circle. It will take longer, but homemade tortillas are so worth it!
- How to keep homemade corn tortillas soft - humidity is your friend! Using a tortilla warmer is a good option, but wrapping in a clean towel will also do the same job. If you make them ahead, just heat in the microwave wrapped in a paper towel.
- Keep the dough covered while cooking the tortillas.
- If the dough gets dry, add some more water. Too wet? Add a little more masa.
- Flip the tortillas when you start seeing brown spots.
