What You’ll Need

  • 2 cups of masa harina (corn flour)
  • 1 ½ cups of warm water
  • A pinch of salt
  • A tortilla press
  • Plastic wrap or ziplock bags

Step 1: Mixing the Dough

Start by combining the masa harina and the salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually add in the warm water while stirring the mixture with your hands. Knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball.

Step 2: Resting the Dough

Divide the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball. Place the balls on a tray, cover them with plastic wrap or keep them in a ziplock bag, and let them rest for about 30 minutes. This resting time allows the dough to relax and makes it easier to roll out.

Step 3: Preparing the Tortilla Press

While the dough is resting, it’s time to prepare the tortilla press. Open the press and line both sides with plastic wrap or cut open ziplock bags. This prevents the dough from sticking to the press and makes it easier to transfer the tortilla to the cooking surface.

Step 4: Pressing the Dough

Take one of the dough balls and place it in the center of the tortilla press. Gently close the press and apply even pressure to flatten the dough. Open the press, and you’ll have a perfectly round tortilla. Repeat this process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 5: Cooking the Tortilla

Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully transfer the tortilla from the press to the hot surface. Cook each side for about 30 seconds or until small brown spots start to appear. Flip the tortilla and cook the other side. Remove from heat and repeat for the rest of the tortillas.

Step 6: Serving and Enjoying

Your homemade tortillas are now ready to be served! They are perfect for delicious tacos, quesadillas, or simply enjoyed on their own. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container for future use.

Now that you have mastered the art of making tortillas at home, you can impress your loved ones with this traditional Mexican specialty. Get creative with your fillings or toppings and let your taste buds do the dancing! Enjoy!
