Corn Tortillas

INGREDIENTS

2 cups MASECA corn flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups hot water

DIRECTIONS

1. In a bowl, mix the corn flour, salt, and oil.  Add the water and knead until flour clumps together.  Let rest for 15 minutes.
2. Take a small piece of the dough and make a golf-sized ball and use a tortilla maker if you have one.  If you don't have one, use a heavy pot to press the golf-sized flour dough placed in between to plastic sheets (Ziploc works fine).  Press hard and put a lot of pressure on the dough ball to make a 7" tortilla.
3. Cook in a preheated cast iron skillet on medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side.  Keep the cooked tortillas covered with a clean kitchen towel until you finished making all of the batch. Serve warm for tacos or quesadillas.

*This will make about 12 to 15 tortillas.
