Morales Taco Shells

Instructions

1. Combine 3 cups of masa harina with 1½ cups of hot (almost boiling) water in a mixing bowl.
2. Mix until the dough is smooth and pliable, adding more water or harina if needed.
3. Divide the dough into small balls about the size of a golf ball.
4. Place a plastic paper (6 x 8-inch) sheet inside a tortilla press.
5. Place a dough ball between the plastic sheets and press to flatten into a thin circle.
6. Carefully peel off the plastic paper and cook the tortilla on a hot skillet or griddle until lightly browned on both sides.
7. Repeat with remaining dough balls to form all taco shells.
