Garlic Corn Tortilla
- 2 cups masa harina
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups hot tap water
- In a large bowl, combine together the masa harina, garlic, and salt.
- Start with 1 1/4 cups of water and mix into the masa mixture to form a semi-smooth dough ball.
- If necessary, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough binds together into a semi-smooth ball (dough should form easily into a ball but not be sticky).
- Knead 15 times or until ball is smooth.
- Pinch off 1-inch balls of dough.
- Form into tight balls, and then flatten into fat discs.
- Between two sheets of plastic wrap, roll a dough ball to 1/8-inch thick by 6-inches in diameter (or press flat in a tortilla press).
- Heat a griddle, comal (a smooth rounded griddle) or large skillet over medium heat.
- Place the raw tortilla on the pan and cook until it puffs and starts to brown, about 30 seconds, flip over, press down with a spatula, and then cook for another 30 seconds, or until the second side is browned.
- Place tortilla on a plate and cover with a towel.
- Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
