Ingredients
- 1 cup masa
- ½ cup cornmeal
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ to ¾ cup water

- Add 1/2 cup water. Stir and pull mixture together in a dough. Add more water if needed until dough is holding together but not overly wet. It will slightly sticky.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Divide dough into 10 pieces and roll into balls.

It is easier to make homemade corn tortillas using a tortilla press but you can roll them out.
