Ingredients
• 2 cups masa harina
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

3. Knead the dough for a minute or two until smooth, then cover it with a damp cloth to prevent drying
4. Divide the dough into 10-12 equal portions and roll each into a ball
5. Preheat a skillet or comal over medium-high heat
6. Place a ball of dough between two pieces of parchment paper and flatten it using a tortilla press or rolling pin to about 1/8-inch thickness
7. Cook the tortilla in the hot skillet for about 30-45 seconds on each side, until lightly browned and cooked through
8. Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a towel while you repeat with the remaining dough balls
