INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large bowl, stir together flour and salt with a fork to combine
- Pour in water and knead with your hands until you achieve a dough-like texture. The masa should feel moist but not sticky or runny
- Form 12 even balls of masa—about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter each. Press each ball individually on a plastic wrap-lined tortilla press. Each tortilla should be about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter after pressing
- On the stovetop, bring a comal or cast-iron skillet to medium heat. When hot, carefully place each tortilla, one at a time, on the coal or skillet and cook each side for about 2 minutes, until the edges start to brown a bit. Using your fingertips, apply a little bit of pressure to the tortilla as each side is cooking
- Flip the tortilla until the center starts to brown lightly, and transfer to a tortilla warmer or wrap in kitchen cloth to keep warm
Note: A tortilla does not always puff up during cooking. This is OK.
