Equipment

- Wax papper or non-stick parchment
Ingredients
- 5 cups Masa Harina
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Using your hand, mix well until it becomes a moist, but not sticky dough.
- Shape the dough into balls the size of golf balls. Line the tortilla press with 2 sheets of the non-stick paper. Place the golf ball size masa ball between the sheets and press the tortilla as flat as you can.
