How to Make Tortillas
Maybe it’s because we live in Texas, but we are never without tortillas in the house. If a taco party is going to break out, I want to be prepared.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Stir the masa and salt together. Pour in the warm water and stir until combined and smooth. When you poke a finger into the dough, the impression should stay.
2
Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes. Divide and roll into 12 balls. Cover and let rest for ⏱️ 15 minutes or more.
3
Heat a cast iron skillet or comal until very hot. Roll dough ball in just a bit of masa. Line a tortilla press with a sheet of waxed paper. Quickly press each ball with the press. Peel from the waxed paper and place on the hot skillet.
4
Cook for 1–⏱️ 2 minutes per side. The edges may show a bit of golden brown. Remove from the pan and place inside a folded dishtowel. Repeat with the remaining dough, stacking all of the tortillas inside the dishtowel.
5
Serve warm.
