1. Mix the corn masa flour with 1 1/2 cups of water to create a soft dough. Gradually add more water until the dough forms balls when pressed.
To check if the dough has the right consistency, squeeze a ball of dough. It shouldn't crack; if it does, add a bit more water. If the dough adheres to your hand, add more flour.
2 Cups Corn Masa Flour
2 Cups Lukewarm Water
1. Divide dough into equal balls of 30 - 40 g / 1-1.5 ounces each. Cover with a damp cloth to keep the dough moist.
2. Line a tortilla press with a plastic bag. To flatten the dough balls into tortillas, place each one in the tortilla press and press down. Then, rotate the tortilla and press again.
I use a 1-gallon zip bag and wash it after use for next time.
3. Preheat a skillet or comal over medium heat. Carefully remove the tortilla from the plastic wrap. Cook each tortilla for 30 seconds on each side, flipping it three times.
4. Wrap warm tortillas in a kitchen towel as soon as they come out of the skillet to keep them soft and pliable. For a longer-lasting warm tortilla, wrap them in aluminum foil.
Enjoy!
