Why buy tortillas from the store when you can make them at home? This recipe is simple with only two ingredients and can be used for tacos, enchiladas or serve them alongside your favorite dish. This recipe makes 10-12 tortillas. You can also see how to make them Step-By-Step with pictures of each step.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups masa harina and 1 1/2 cups of warm water
  • OR 1lb fresh masa

PREPARATION:

Mix masa harina and water together to form a dough. Knead for about one minute adding more water if necessary. Or use fresh masa. Divide dough into 10-12 balls. They should be about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Press each tortilla in a tortilla press or roll out between two pieces of wax paper until it is about 5 1/2 to 6 inches across and very thin. Carefully place tortilla on a hot griddle and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side.

Tortillas cool quickly, so keep them warm in a tortilla warmer lined with paper towels to prevent condensation or cover them with a dish towel.
