There's nothing like the taste of homemade corn tortillas! They taste much better and fresher than store-bought tortillas.
All you need is a taco press. Simply insert a ball of masa (available at the grocery store) and with each push on the handle, you get a fresh taco shell!
1. Mix 2 cups of corn masa and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add approximately 1 1/2 cups of water, enough to make a soft dough ball with your hands.
2. From your dough ball, tear off chunks off dough and make golf ball-sized balls.
3. Place a dough ball in your taco press. Hint: you may wish to use wax paper or plastic wrap to keep your dough ball from sticking to the press.
4. To cook the shells, heat the shells in a hot skillet without oil for approximately 50 seconds on each side.
