Corn tortilla Recipe
- 150g/5½oz masa harina (available online)
- pinch salt
- 100ml/3½fl oz cold water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Mix the masa harina and salt in a bowl. Add the water and olive oil and mix until a smooth dough is achieved. (If it’s too sticky add a little more masa harina, or, if it’s too dry, add a drop more water.)
- Divide the dough into 24 balls. Cover and leave to rest in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Flatten the balls of dough with your hands – alternatively, use a tortilla press or roll them between two layers of cling film. Flatten to approximately 3mm thick.
- To cook the tortillas, lightly oil a flat griddle pan or frying pan and place over a hot heat.
- Cook the tortillas for approximately one minute on each side, or until lightly coloured.
