Step 1

Cut a ziploc bag open along the sides. Open the tortilla press and lay the opened bag on top and bottom.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the masa harina and salt. Pour in the water and stir to combine.

Step 3

Knead the dough with your hands in the bowl for 1-2 minutes, or until it is smooth and no longer sticky. If you have time, let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Pinch off some dough to form a golf ball size ball. You should get about 18-20.

Step 5

Place 1 ball between the cut ziploc and press down until the dough has spread about 6 inches and 1/8 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add freshly pressed tortilla and cook for about 1 minute before flipping and cooking another minute.

Step 7

Stack the tortillas in a clean kitchen towel so they seam and finish cooking. Repeat with remaining dough.
