These delicious [[corn tortillas]] are easy to make, though best made with a [[tortilla press]] if you can get hold of one.

You '''must''' use [[masa harina]] as [[cornmeal]] will not work.

====Best recipe review====

''Pretty good attempt''

4.5/5 

Not bad. Never as good as the pre-made ones, which seem to hold up better. These taste really good though. Probably because there are no 'other' ingredients.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 250g [[masa harina]]
| 330 ml hot water
| 1/2 a teaspoon of table [[salt]]
}}
===Method===
{{RecipeMethod
| Mix the [[salt]], [[masa harina]] and half of the water together to form a [[dough]]
| Add more water as required - you are looking for a stiff, pliable [[dough]]
| This can be done in a [[food processor]] or even better, use a [[breadmaker]] on dough setting. The Panasonic SD 253 and similar models have a 45 minute pizza dough setting that is perfect for tortilla dough.
| Rest for at least 1 hour then shape into 10 equal sized balls.
| Using a [[tortilla press]] or [[rolling pin]], place a ball of dough between two non-stick sheets ([[Bake-O-Glide]]or similar) and press into shape
| Heat a frying pan to a medium high temperature (but with no oil).
| Cook each tortilla on one side for 15 seconds.
| Turn and cook for 45 seconds.
| Turn again and cook for a further 15 seconds.
| They should have brown speckles.
}}
===Serving suggestion===

Can be eaten as they are, fried, wrapped around [[beans]], [[salad]], [[chicken]], [[cheese]] etc.

Use as suggested in your recipe
*Make [[Cheese pupusas]] or [[Dobladas]] with your homemade [[maize tortillas]]
===Variations===

Add 1-2 teaspoons [[chilli powder]] and/or 2-3 teaspoons [[garlic powder]] to the mixture.

===Chef's note===

If you don't have a [[tortilla press]], use 2 chopping boards or just two sheets of wood as a substitute. Place ball of [[dough]] between two non-stick surfaces such as small squares of [[Bake-O-Glide]] and stand on them!
