Simple Corn Tortillas Recipe

1. Mix the masa harina with the water in a bowl to form a ball. If the dough is too dry to hold together, add a few more tbsps of water. Knead the dough lightly for a few minutes, cover with a dishcloth, and let sit for 1 hour.
   
   
2. Divide the dough into 2 inch balls. Preheat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat, and place a cloth napkin in a shallow basket. Place a ball of dough between two plastic bags and roll it into a 6 inch circle. Place the circle on the hot griddle and cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface. turn the tortilla and cook the other side for a few seconds only. AS each tortilla is cooked, place it in the napkin and cover it completely. Repeat the procedure with the remaining dough. If desired, dip the tortillas briefly in hot oil to soften them for rolling or shaping into shells.
