Homemade Corn Tortillas
- Prep Time: 15
- Cook Time: 15
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 (12-16 tortillas) 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups corn flour (harina de maíz)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups water (roughly)
Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, and add the water in small increments. Mix well by hand, kneading until you form a soft dough. Note: water amount varies by climate, here in Arizona I add more than 1.5 cups water. If the dough is dry, add more water one tablespoon at a time. The dough should be a consistency similar to Play-Doh; meaning, the dough should be wet but still holding together. If the flour is too dry and not forming a cohesive ball add water, too wet and sticking to your hands, add flour.
- Divide dough into balls about 1 oz each. Similar to the size of a golf ball.
- Line a tortilla press with plastic wrap or parchment paper and sprinkle with a little bit of corn flour. Press the balls down on the tortilla press. (or use a flat bottomed pan)
- Heat skillet or griddle to medium high heat. Carefully peel tortilla from parchment or plastic wrap and cook tortilla on both sides for 1-2 minutes on each side. Or until the Tortilla forms steam bubbles or until golden spots appear.
- Enjoy!
