Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups masa harina
Method:
- Mix masa harina with about 1 cup hot water, then knead until smooth, adding more water or more masa harina to achieve a very soft non-sticky consistency. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 15 balls, and cover with plastic wrap. Pre-heat a large (dry) skillet over medium heat
- Place a piece of plastic or parchment on the bottom plate. Center a ball of dough on the plastic, flattening it a little with your hand to make it stick, and cover with the other square of plastic or parchment. Close the top plate, fold the pressure handle over it, and press down firmly. Open, turn tortilla 180 degrees, close, and gently press again, to an even 1/16-inch thickness.
- Cook the Tortilla: Place the tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook until it begins to bubble, about 15 seconds. Turn the tortilla and cook another 30 to 45 seconds, until the other side begins to bubble.
