Cooking duration: 20 minutes

 

Ingredients:

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 tablespoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon kosher salt

2 cups masa harina (I used Bob's Red Mill)

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 ¼ cups hot water, more if necessary

Equipment:

baking paper

bowl

frying pan

aluminum foil

Cooking instruction summary:

In a large bowl, place the masa and salt. Stir together and then slowly stir in the water until a dough is formed. The dough should come together and feel like Play-Doh, not dry and crumbly or sticky. If it is too dry, slowly add more water. If it is too wet, slowly add more masa.Once the dough is the right consistency, form it into a ball and cover the bowl with a towel or parchment paper. Allow to rest for 30 minutes – 2 hours at room temperature.Once the dough had rested, cut it into 16 roughly equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and press it between two pieces of parchment paper with your hands. Try to press it into an evenly thin, round shell, about 1/8 inch thick. Stack pressed tortillas on a plate with parchment between them.Preheat a cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Depending on the size of the skillet, place 1 or 2 tortillas in the skillet and cook about 1 minute. Flip the tortillas and cook about 1 minute more until both sides are lightly charred.Wrap the cooked tortillas in a towel or parchment paper and continue cooking until all are finished. Tortillas may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or frozen, wrapped in parchment and foil and placed in a zipper bag for up to 3 months. Thaw wrapped in the refrigerator.In a small bowl stir together spices. Use immediately to season ground beef, fish, steak, or chicken to make tacos.
