For such a simple food, tortillas
made from scratch can make an ordinary meal
of beans and rice seem a little more special.
Fresh, warm tortillas are much more
flavorful than the store bought variety.
Ingredients:
2 cups masa
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/8 cup of water
Directions:
Mix in a bowl until you have a nice ball of dough.
If your dough is too dry, add water bit by bit in small amounts.
Divide and roll in to 16 golf ball sized balls.
Place these little masa balls on a plate
and cover with a damp cloth in order
to keep your dough from drying out.
Press each little dough ball one by one,
(between 2 sheets of wax paper) in the tortilla press.
Heat a heavy skillet or comal on medium/high.
Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side.
Cover with a damp towel to keep them warm for serving.
