Homemade Corn Tortillas

Ditch the store-bought stuff, and make your own homemade corn tortillas from scratch.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time30 minutes

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Nonstick paper or re-usable bag
  • Spoon
  • Bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic yellow masa
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm water

Instructions

  • Pour masa into a bowl
  • Add water slowly, mixing with the spoon. Continue adding water carefully mixing to create a dough-like texture. Don't add water too quickly; otherwise you risk making it too wet. If you accidentally add too much water, simply add more masa.
  • Once your mixture is dough-like, roll the mixture into balls, about the size of a golf ball.
  • Take your nonstick paper or re-usable bag (we use https://www.evertfresh.com/ bags we get in our harvest bag, so we're reusing them for another purpose), and put the ball in between the paper or bag.
  • Take a heavy skillet or pan to flatten the ball. You'll end up with a round, flat tortilla shape.
  • Heat a skillet on medium-high heat.
  • Toss your tortillas on the hot skillet for 1-2 minutes each side until they're browned. If they start to puff up, you're on the right track!
  • Cook the rest of the dough balls and serve asap!

Notes

These are so good eaten fresh and warm. Enjoy with your favorite fillings.
