Ingredients:
- 2 cups masa corn flour
- 1½ cups warm water
- 1 pinch Kosher salt
- 2-3 limes, zested (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine masa flour and water until dough has formed. This dough should be smooth and sticky to the touch, but it should not cling to your hand. Adjust with more masa or water if too wet or sticky.
- Add salt and zest and lightly kneed until fully incorporated.
- There are two methods you can use to make tortillas. The first one requires a specific tool called a "Tortilla press". You first take a large plastic zip bag, cut one of the length sides. You then place that in the press to keep the dough from sticking. Place the dough in between the sheets of plastic and give a firm quick press. Method two requires the same plastic zip bag and a rolling pin. Place the ball in-between the bag and use the rolling pin to create a disc shape.
- In a large pan (cast iron works best) on high heat, toast each tortilla until dark blisters form, 1-2 min each side.
