## Ingredients

- 2 cups masa harina
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt

## Instructions

1. In a bowl, add two cups of masa harina, one teaspoon of salt and mix well.
2. Slowly add one and a half cups of warm water and mix until it looks like sand.
3. Keep adding more water until all the masa is well hydrated and has a play-doh like consistency.
4. Cover the masa and let it sit for five to ten minutes.
5. Get your tortilla press ready and line it with plastic.
6. Form balls of masa a bit smaller than a golf ball.
7. Lay your ball of masa on the plastic and press it down slightly to prevent the edges from cracking.
8. Slowly peel the tortilla off the plastic and put it on the preheated comal.
9. Cook on medium heat and flip twice, for 40 seconds each time; during the last flip, press down a little to help them puff up.
10. Once the tortillas have puffed up completely, remove from comal.
