Masa Harina (Prepared Dough Mix for Corn Tortillas)

• GG003

Making homemade corn tortillas has never been easier! 

This delicious masa flour is made from heirloom Oaxaca corn. It has been nixtamalized, dried and ground, making it ready to use at home. All you need to do is add is water and knead. Easier than making pancakes.

Bag contains 32 oz. of masa harina - 8 oz. of flour makes 6 six-inch round tortillas.

Masa Dough for Tortillas: Mix 1 cup of flour with 5.5 oz. of lukewarm water. Knead with hands until you achieve dough like consistency. You are looking for masa that is moist to the touch but not sticky. Use immediately after prepared. (Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to water if desired).

Assemble the masa into balls measuring approximately 2 inches wide and set them aside. Press each one individually on a wax paper or plastic-lined tortilla press. After pressing, each ball should be thin and about 6 inches in diameter.  

Place a nonstick griddle or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer each tortilla to the griddle or skillet. Cook each side for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Each tortilla should puff up after the first turn. 

Keep warm in a tortilla warmer or inside a kitchen cloth. 

You can easily turn tortillas into tostadas by allowing the tortillas to dry and then frying each one in hot vegetable oil.
