Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • Parchment paper
  • plastic wrap
  • pie dish
  • griddle or cast iron pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups + 1 tbsp Maseca brand masa harina (corn flour)
  • 1 1/4 cup warm water

Instructions
 

  • Mix the ingredients. Combine the masa harina and the warm water in a bowl. Mix the combination with your hands until the dough forms a ball and everything it well combined. If the dough is sticky, add 1/2 tbsp of masa harina until it rolls into a ball without feeling sticky pr getting all over your hands. Shape the dough into a large ball, place it in the bowl, then cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel for ten minutes.
  • Shape the corn tortillas. While the dough is resting for ten minutes, heat your griddle over medium heat so it has time to get hot. Place a 12X12" piece of parchment paper on a flat work surface. Wrap the bottom of a glass pie dish with plastic wrap so it overlaps into the dish. Pinch off a gulf-ball-sized piece of dough and place it in the center of the parchment paper. Press the dough between the parchment paper and the bottom plastic-wrapped glass dish until the tortilla is about 4-6" wide. Pick the dish up, gently peel the parchment paper off of the tortilla. Loosen the plastic wrap off of the pie dish and peel off the corn tortilla.
  • Cook the tortillas. Place the corn tortilla on the hot griddle and cook for 30-60 seconds on each side. Stack the corn tortillas, they will steam themselves when they are stacked. Mangia!
