- In a bowl, add the corn masa flour. Add a good pinch of salt then add most the water, leaving about 1/4 out. Mix with your hands then add in the remaining water and really bring the masa together using your hands. Will be slightly sticky….shouldn’t be dry! If so add a splash more of water.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile if you’re using squash blossoms, cut off the bottom and remove the inside bulb.
- Prep your tortilla press with plastic. I think a large zip lock cut is the best but if not parchment paper can work too.
- Bring hot pan or comal to medium / high heat.
- Begin to roll your tortillas into golf size balls. Place masa ball to the bottom of tortilla press on one of the pieces of plastic. Then cover with the other plastic and gently press to flatten a bit, then open it up,
- Remove plastic then add the squash blossom to center, add plastic back on top then press down using the tortilla press handle.
- If you’re not adding squash blossom then just press down with handle right away.
- Add tortilla to your hot pan and cook for about less then 1 min on head side, look for the air bubbles to form! Enjoy!!!
