Add the rest of the water incrementally until the flour melds into a dough. Use your hands to knead the dough into a cohesive ball. If the dough is sticking to your hands, add a bit of masa harina to dry it out.
Separate the dough into golf ball sized chunks, this will make tortillas approximately 4
inches across.
Flatten the dough balls using a tortilla press or a flat bottomed pan. Be sure to line each side of the dough ball with plastic or ziploc pieces.
Heat a skillet or comal to medium-high heat. Add a tortilla and flip after 10 seconds. Then
cook each side for 1-2 minutes or until light brown spots are forming. Continue cooking the rest of the tortillas. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Preheat an oven to 400°F. Roast tomatillos, red onion, jalapeños, and garlic cloves for 20 minutes. Place the roasted vegetables into a food processor or blender.

through and brown on one side. Be careful not to cook the chicken too long as this will
dry it out.
