I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Corn Tortillas
...in your mind.

Corn Tortillas

Makes 8 tortillas

Ingredients

  • 1 cup masa harina, reg or blue if you're feeling frisky
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water

Directions

  1. Combine masa and salt in a large bowl, mix well and add the water
  2. Mix well until it starts to come together, then knead with your hands until you get a soft, smooth dough (it should feel like ‘play dough) then roll into one ounce balls and cover with a damp kitchen towel for 10 minutes See note
  3. Put a ball of dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper or a cut open ziplock bag, and use either a tortilla press or a couple books to flatten into a 6-inch round
  4. Heat an un-greased cast iron griddle, pan or large non-stick pan over medium-high heat
  5. Gently lay one of the tortillas into the pan, and cook about a minute and a half or so on each side, flippping until just beginning to brown

Note - When you roll it into a little ball, you don't want any cracks, so if the dough is too dry, add more water a tablespoon at a time. If too wet, add more masa a little at a time.
