Tortilhas de milho caseiras com 3 ingredientes

Ingredientes

• 1 1/2 cup, packed masa flour (( we recommend Maseca brand))
• 1 1/2 cup warm water ((or as needed))
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Combine the masa flour and salt in a bowl and mix well.

2. 2

   Add the water to the seasoned masa flour and mix with your hands until the dough comes together.*The amount of water may vary depending on your environment. You can use 1-2 TBSP less, more, or as needed. The texture of the dough should be kind of like Play-Doh.*

3. 3

   Knead the dough by folding the dough onto itself for about 2-3 minutes. Compact the dough into a smooth ball and wrap with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.

4. 4

   After resting the dough, divide the dough into 8 even balls, about 60 grams each. Work with 1 tortilla ball at a time while keeping the rest covered with either a clean cloth or plastic wrap.

5. 5

   Preheat a nonstick pan or griddle on medium heat.

6. 6

   Meanwhile, flatten a ball of tortilla dough in between a split gallon resealable bag with the palm of your hand.Using a rolling pin, evenly roll the flattened tortilla dough into a circle, about the thickness of a quarter or around 1/16th of an inch.*You can also complete this step using a heavy, flat bottom dish or a tortilla press.*

7. 7

   Carefully peel the plastic off of the tortilla and place it into the preheated pan. Cook each side for about 1-2 minutes, until it turns opaque with specks of brown and some char. If your tortillas puff up, you nailed it!

8. 8

   Remove the tortilla from the pan and wrap it in a clean towel. Repeat the rolling and cooking with all remaining tortilla dough.

9. 9

   Enjoy your fresh tortilla!
