INGREDIENTS
1 cup masa harina
¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
1 cup warm water

DIRECTIONS

Place masa harina and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredient together until well blended.
With your hand or a spoon, slowly pour in the warm water. When the dough feels moist and start to hold together, stop adding water. If the dough seems dry, add a little water, a few drops at a time or if the dough seems too wet or sticky add a little more masa harina.
Knead the dough then divide into 8 equal pieces and roll into a small ball.
Place parchment paper or a plastic wrap on a tortilla press. Place the dough ball on the tortilla press and add another plastic or parchment paper on top and smash the dough balls into circler tortilla shape or use the back of a pie dish to press down on each ball.
On a hot dry skillet cook tortilla for a few minutes front and back. If the tortilla starts to crack while cooking, spray a mist of water on the tortilla.
Transfer to a tortilla warmer or a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
