If you like, top these corn tortillas with Coffee-Braised Pulled Pork, a little dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkling of cilantro. If you're lucky enough to have a tortilla press, now's your chance to use it! If not, you can just roll them out.
by:
Serves: Makes about 4 dozen
Ingredients
  • 2 cups masa harina
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cups water
Instructions
  1. Mix masa and salt in a medium bowl. Add water; mix thoroughly to form a soft dough that just holds together (if dough seems dry add more water by the teaspoonful).
  2. If you've got a tortilla press: Line the both sides of a tortilla press with parchment. Working 1 at a time, measure 2 teaspoons of dough, press dough into a thin 2-inch round. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
  3. If you don't: Working one at a time, measure 2 teaspoons of dough, rolling it into a rough round. Repeat with remaining dough. (Can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated 2 days.)
  4. When ready to serve, heat an ungreased dry griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches (you should be able to fit about 12 in a large skillet) cook tortillas, turning once until spotty brown on both sides, 1 to 1½ minutes total. Keep warm in a clean kitchen towel while cooking remaining tortillas. Top as desired and serve.

 

 

About Sharon Damelio

I love to cook and to write–both of which I learned at my parents’ elbows. After graduating from college, I worked at Fine Cooking magazine as the Assistant Web Editor. After two glorious years there, I returned to graduate school and now work at WhyHunger, an NYC-based nonprofit that is building a movement to end hunger and increase access to fresh, nutritious food. In the kitchen, I fancy myself the culinary version of an armchair-traveler, but I’m also a devoted baker. Some days, when work is overwhelming and the world seems bleak, methodically creating a batch of bread, cookies, or scones is all the relaxation I need.
