Calories 71kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups Maseca Corn Flour
- 1 1/2 cups hot water (up to 2 cups)
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Maseca corn flour and salt. Add the hot water a little at a time to the bowl, mixing it with a whisk or spoon. Mix until an evenly incorporated dough is formed; add a bit more water if needed.
- Then knead the dough with your hands for about three minutes or until it is soft to the touch but no longer sticky, similar to the texture of playdough.
- Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel or paper towel. Let the dough rest for about 20 minutes. Scoop up two tablespoons of the dough and shape them into balls.
- Place the dough balls between parchment paper and flatten them with a rolling pin or a tortilla press.
- Preheat a pan to medium-high and cook the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side. If the tortilla puffs up, that's a good thing! Keep them warm in a tortilla warmer or loosely wrapped in a towel until ready to serve. Enjoy.
