Homemade Corn Tortillas- Tortillas de Maíz hechas en casa.

Fresh corn tortillas taste lightly sweet and are soft. Combine the masa harina or (maseca) salt and warm water it becomes a moist, but not sticky dough.

Use your hands to knead the mixture in a bowl adding additional water as need it until dough is soft and tacky but not sticky.

Homemade tortillas brings childhood memories. Making fresh barbacoa tacos on Sundays was a treat and I miss those moments with my mother now.

Create the balls, the shape size of golf ball. If you have a "tortillera" you will need also a plastic wrap to press the balls.

You can make a plastic cover using ziploc plastic bag. Many people use their hands to mold the dough into a tortilla. It's very difficult for me! I prefer to use the tortillera.

Heat the comal at medium high heat, and use oily paper towel ( cooking oil or butter) and wipe out the comal, leaving a thin film of oil to prevent the tortilla from sticking to the comal.
