Simple Corn Tortilla Recipe: 3-Ingredient Homemade Tortillas

• 2 cups masa harina
• 1 ½ cups hot water
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the masa harina and salt. Gradually stir in the hot water until a soft, play-dough-like dough forms.
2. Cover with a damp towel and let the dough rest for 20 minutes to hydrate.
3. Divide into 12 equal balls (about 2 ounces each) and keep covered to prevent drying.
4. Line a tortilla press with parchment or plastic. Place a dough ball in the center and press until ⅛″ thick.
5. No press? Use a heavy skillet to flatten between parchment squares.
6. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high. Peel off the paper and place the tortilla in the pan. Cook 30–45 seconds per side, until golden spots appear and the tortilla puffs slightly. Keep finished tortillas warm in a clean towel.
