Corn Tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn masa
- 1-1 ½ cups hot water
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add to your hand stand mixer the corn masa and salt. Use the paddle attachment to mix for about 15 seconds to allow the corn masa and salt to combine.2 cups corn masa, 1 tsp salt
- Slowly begin to add your hot water and continue to mix on medium speed for about 5 minutes or until the dough no longer sticks to your bowl. You may use more or less water depending on your masa. Check your masa for hydration by grabbing a small amount and making a ball. Lightly press down and if your masa doesn't break, then it's ready.1-1 ½ cups hot water
- Transfer your masa dough to another bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel to allow the masa dough to rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Form your masa dough balls with your hands (about 2 tablespoons of dough). Roll the masa dough until it is evenly round. Place them inside the same bowl and cover again until you are ready to press with your tortilla press. This allows the masa dough to retain moisture.
- Line your tortilla press with two pieces of plastic. Place a dough ball in the middle and gently press with your tortilla press. Flip your pressed tortilla and press again.
- Heat your comal over medium-high heat. Peel off the plastic and cook on your ready hot comal. Cook each side for 30-45 seconds. Lightly press the center of your tortilla with a kitchen towel once you flip it to cook the second side.
- Place your cooked tortillas in a tortilla warmer until you are ready to eat. Enjoy!
