Yield Makes 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups (or more) masa (corn tortilla mix; preferably Maseca brand)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Vegetable oil (for brushing)

Steps:

  • Whisk masa and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water; knead in bowl until dough forms. The dough should feel firm and springy and look slightly dry (think Play-Doh). Add more water by tablespoonfuls if too crumbly; add a little more masa if too wet.
  • Measure 1 heaping tablespoon dough and roll into a ball. Flatten on a tortilla press lined with a plastic bag. If tortilla crumbles, dough is too dry (add more water); if it sticks to the plastic, dough is too wet (add more masa). Repeat, pressing out 2 more tortillas.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; lightly brush with oil. Cook 2-3 tortillas until charred in spots and edges start to curl, 1-2 minutes. Turn; cook through, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a kitchen towel; fold over to keep warm. Repeat, in batches, with remaining dough.

I'm not a huge fan of corn tortillas, but I have to admit that these were pretty good. I especially liked the fact that they were so easy to make.

These corn tortillas were a game-changer for my taco night. They were so much better than the store-bought tortillas I was using before.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tortillas didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a bit too dry and crumbly.

These tortillas were delicious! I especially liked the way the masa harina gave them a slightly nutty flavor.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The tortillas were too thick and chewy for my taste.

I've tried making corn tortillas before, but they always turned out too dry. This recipe was perfect! The tortillas were soft and pliable, and they held together well.

The tortillas were a bit thicker than I expected, but they were still very good. I especially liked the flavor of the masa harina.
