Ingredients
- 2 cups Maseca masa harina instant corn flour
- 2 cups warm water
Instructions
- Combine the Maseca corn flour and about 1 3/4 cups of the water to a large bowl. Mix by hand or using a large spoon or fork until combined, adding more water a little at a time until the masa comes together into a ball and has the texture of playdough. Knead for 3-4 minutes by hand, then cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 5 minutes. Divide the dough into 12 equally sized sections and roll it into balls that are slightly larger than golf balls. Keep them covered with a damp towel while you are working so they don't dry out.
- Press the balls of dough between a tortilla press lined with plastic wrap until about 8-inches in diameter. If you don't have a tortilla press, you can do this with the flat bottom of a heavy cast iron skillet or pan. Stack and keep covered with a damp cloth while you repeat with each of the balls of dough.
- Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. When it is hot, cook the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds until it starts to puff up, then flip and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side until lightly browned. Transfer the cooked tortillas to a plate or tortilla warmer and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook all of the tortillas.
Notes
- Storage & Make Ahead
- Store: Keep cooked tortillas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Stack tortillas with parchment paper between each and freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Warm tortillas on a hot skillet or griddle for 30-60 seconds on each side until soft and warm.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature before rolling and pressing.
