About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 Masa Taquera
- Warm water, to taste
Instructions
- 1Place the Masa Taquera in a large mixing bowl.
- 2Gradually add warm water, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture comes together into a soft, pliable dough.
- 3Knead the dough in the bowl for about 1 minute, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for another minute until smooth and elastic.
- 4Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the moisture to distribute evenly.
- 5Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions (approximately 30‑40 g each) and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
- 6Place a dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper or a piece of plastic wrap.
- 7Press the ball with a tortilla press (or a heavy skillet) until the tortilla is thin and about 6‑8 inches in diameter.
- 8Preheat a dry, heavy skillet or cast‑iron griddle over medium‑high heat (about 400°F / 392°F).
- 9Cook the pressed tortilla for 30‑45 seconds on the first side, until small bubbles appear and the surface looks dry.
- 10Flip the tortilla and cook the other side for another 30‑45 seconds, until lightly browned spots appear.
- 11Transfer the cooked tortilla to a clean kitchen towel, cover, and let it rest for 1 minute to stay soft.
- 12Repeat the pressing and cooking process with the remaining dough balls, keeping finished tortillas covered to retain warmth.
- 13Serve the fresh tortillas warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
