Ingredients:

Directions:

Mix the masa harina and salt in a bowl.

Slowly add hot water and mix until a dough forms and you can shape it into a ball. Start by stirring with a spatula, then knead a few times with your hands.

Form into a ball and let sit for 30-60 minutes.

Divide dough into 8 sections and roll into balls.

Cut a ziploc bag around the edges so that you have two pieces of plastic (or use parchment paper).

Place a dough ball in between two pieces of plastic. Use a plate to flatten the ball into a circle. It may help to place it on the floor and stand on the plate to flatten (or use a rolling pin).

Slowly peel back one of the pieces of plastic, being careful of the edges, then pull off the other side of the plastic.

Drop into a hot non-stick or cast iron pan.

Let cook for one minute, flip and cook a minute more. The tortilla should start to puff up while cooking. If it doesn't. flip it one more time.

Notes
- This recipe could easily be doubled.
- Make sure you use enough water that the dough ball doesn't have cracks as you knead it.
- Don't press the tortillas too thin or it will be difficult to get them off the plastic.
