Plate with a flat bottom
2 Sheets of Plastic Wrap
Cast iron skillet or other heavy skillet
Ingredients
1 ¼cupsvery warm filtered water
2teaspoonslime juice
1 ½cupsblue masa harina
½teaspoonsea salt
Olive oil spray
Instructions
Combine the lime and warm water in a glass measuring cup.
Add the masa and sea salt to a large bowl and stir to combine.
Slowly add water to the corn mixture and use clean hands to knead it together well. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
Make 12 small balls from the dough. Cover the balls with the damp kitchen towel to keep them from drying out.
Lay a sheet of plastic wrap across your cutting board. Set one ball of dough on it, then lay another plastic sheet over the dough. Press down on the ball with your plate until it's flattened into a tortilla.
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or other nonstick pan with a flat surface over medium heat. Lightly oil, if needed, and place one raw tortilla into the hot pan. Cook for 45 seconds, then flip and cook the other side for 15 seconds.
Place cooked tortilla on a plate lined with a tea towel and keep covered.
Repeat until all tortillas are cooked, then serve with your favorite taco fillings.
