Soft, pliable corn tortillas that you are going to love!
Combine 1 3/4 cups of masa harina with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl
Add 1 cup of water and mix using a stiff wooden spoon or silicone spatula
Add additional tablespoons of water until a soft, kneadable consistency is achieved
Knead in the bowl for several minutes
Add additional masa is the dough is too wet or sticks to your hands and add additional water if the dough is too dry or won’t fully incorporate
Cover the bowl with a damp towel and rest for 15 minutes
Divide the dough into golfball sized portions (approximately 2 tablespoons) and roll into round balls
Press each tortilla between sheets of plastic or parchment paper in a tortilla press or using a rolling pin
Preheat a flat griddle or wide skillet over medium high heat
Once hot, cook each tortilla for 45-60 seconds per side
Transfer cooked tortillas onto a plate wrapped with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm as you cook the other tortillas
Repeat this process until all of the tortillas have been cooked
Use immediately or wrap in tin foil and chill until ready to use
To re-warm, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds
