For the best tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas, make your own corn tortillas in minutes with masa harina and water.
– 2 cups masa harina – 1 1/4 cups water – 1/2 tsp salt, optional
In a bowl, mix the masa harina and water together. Just mix the dough until it comes together. If the dough seems very dry, add a little more water.
Wet plastic or a cloth over the dough will keep it from drying out while you work. Make a ball out of a small piece of dough that's about the size of a ping-pong ball.
Put the dough ball on top of a waxed paper piece in the tortilla press. Using the tortilla press, press the ball down and cover it with another piece of waxed paper.
Peel off the waved paper slowly. About 30 seconds on each side, cook the tacos on a hot pan or griddle. A baggie of cooked tortillas stays in the fridge until I'm ready to use them.
