Ingredients
1.5cupsinstant corn masa flour
1/4teaspoonsalt {optional}
1cupwater
Instructions
Stir together the corn flour and water.
Pour in the water and stir until completely combined.
Roll into 12 balls, and loosely cover with plastic wrap.
Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a work surface and put one ball of dough onto plastic wrap. Top with another piece of plastic wrap, and using a rolling pin, roll out into a circle about 5 to 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Carefully peel the plastic wrap off of the tortilla and transfer the tortilla to a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Cook for 45 seconds and flip. Cook another 45 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with a napkin to keep from drying out.
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Use immediately or let cool completely and transfer to a zip top bag. Keep in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to one month. Reheat in a microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for 30-45 seconds. Or reheat in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds per side.
Notes
*You can find the instant corn masa flour at grocery stores in the ethnic section or online.*I think it's easier to use a tortilla press, but you can totally do these without one! Half of my tortillas were rolled out and the other half were flattened with a tortilla press. They taste just as good either way*Also tasty if you add a few teaspoons of fresh squeezed lime juice to a measuring cup then fill the rest with water to make one cup.
