Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups blue masa harina Always choose fresh masa for the best results.
  • 1 teaspoon table salt Dissolve in warm water if using kosher or sea salt.
  • 1 cup warm water Adjust based on desired dough texture.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • comal or skillet
  • plastic sheets

Method
 

Making Blue Corn Tortillas
  1. In a large mixing bowl, blend the blue masa harina, salt, and warm water. Mix until a smooth and pliable dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes silky and elastic. Add more warm water if it cracks.
  3. Divide the dough into 12 golf ball-sized portions and cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
  4. Preheat a comal or skillet over medium-high heat. Flatten each dough ball between two plastic sheets, achieving about ⅛-inch thickness.
  5. Place each tortilla on the skillet and cook for 15 seconds on one side. Flip and cook for 50-55 seconds until lightly browned.
  6. Stack the cooked tortillas in a clean kitchen towel to retain warmth and softness.
  7. After cooling completely, store the tortillas in a ziplock bag; they'll stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
