Calories 269kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup masa harina (fine corn flour)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Sieve masa harina into a deep mixing bowl.
- Add sieved all-purpose flour to the bowl and mix.
- Heat water to warm (35-40°C) and add salt. Let the salt dissolve and then pour oil.
- Pour the liquid into the bowl with the flour mixture.
- Knead the dough until it becomes smooth with a somewhat medium-stiff consistency. As a reference, it should be stiffer than bread dough. Roll the dough for tortillas into a ball, put it into a bowl, and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Divide the ball of dough into 6-8 even parts.
- Roll a small ball out of each part. Cover your working surface with plastic wrap, place a dough ball in the center, and cover it with the second sheet of plastic wrap. Roll out it into a thin disk. Get rid of plastic wrap by carefully peeling it from the tortilla. Repeat for each ball.
- Preheat the skillet on medium heat. Cook tortillas for 45 seconds to 1 minute on each side (note that the heat of each stove is different and a few of your first attempts at figuring out the time that suits you the best may fail). A good sign that tortillas are ready, they turn yellow.
- Stack tortillas on top of the other and cover them with a towel to preserve their temperature before serving (but you can always reheat them)! Enjoy!
