Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1 1/2 cups warm water and mix with your hands until a smooth, pliable dough forms — it should feel like soft Play-Doh and hold together without cracking at the edges. If the dough feels dry or crumbly, add water 1 tbsp at a time until it comes together.

Divide the dough into 8 equal balls (about 2 oz / 55g each). Working one at a time, flatten each ball between your palms into a round disk about 3 1/2 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick.
