Instructions
  1. Mix together masa harina, salt, and 1 cup of water until combined.
  2. Slowly add splashes of the water until the dough comes together. The dough should be smooth but slightly sticky.
  3. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Check the dough for a smooth consistency. Add a splash of water if it is too dry or a sprinkle of masa harina if it is too wet.
  5. Place plastic or wax paper on both sides of a tortilla press, or lightly sprinkle a flat surface and a rolling pin with masa harina.
  6. Split the dough into 10 equal pieces and form each into a small ball. Place in the middle of the tortilla press and flatten into a disc, or roll with the rolling pin until thin and smooth.
  7. Carefully remove the plastic or wax paper and place the tortilla into a pan heated on high temperature. Cook for 30-60 seconds per side, until the tortillas are pliable.
  8. Wrap the cooked tortillas in a kitchen towel or place into an oven heated to 200 degrees to keep warm until ready to serve.
