# Tortillas

1. Mix (150g)[masa harina] with (237g)[water] in a bowl.
2. Stir until the dough reaches the consistency of fresh Play-Doh; it should not stick to your fingers.
3. Form the dough into small balls about the size of a golf ball and cover them with a moistened towel to prevent drying.
4. Flatten each ball using a tortilla press or a rolling pin.
5. Check the edges—if they are smooth, the dough is properly hydrated.
6. Cook each tortilla on a hot skillet or griddle for about 30 seconds on one side, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
7. Flip again and cook for another 10-15 seconds until it puffs up slightly.
8. Keep the cooked tortillas wrapped in a clean towel to stay warm.
