Come On Up To The House

Tortillas

Making tortillas is very easy, it is just a little time consuming. These are pretty worth it though.

2 cups Masa Harina
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Mix everything in a bowl, adding the water slowly to incorporate it well. Once everything has come together, set aside (covered) for at least 10 minutes.

Start a cast iron pan heating on the stove top. Turn the dough out onto a silpat and divide in half. Cover the other half you aren’t working with. Cut the half of dough into equal 8ths. Roll into small balls. Flatten between plastic sheets (I use ziploc bags) in a tortilla press.

Use the heated skillet. Add a tortilla and flip after 10 seconds, then cook each side for about a minute each side. Set aside on a covered plate. I usually use foil and a hand towel to keep in the heat.

Serve with any toppings that you wish.

If using the leftovers, heat up again using a dry cast iron skillet. Heat them for 30 seconds a side before using.
