1. First gauge how 'wet' your masa dough is. If it sticks to your hands you'll need to add some masa harina to dry it out. I added 1/4 cup masa harina to 2 cups of masa dough. Combine well using your hands.
2. Separate the dough into golfball sized rounds, this will make the tortillas approximately 4 inches across.
3. Flatten the dough balls using a tortilla press or a flat bottomed casserole dish. Be sure to line each side of the dough ball with plastic or ziploc pieces. The tortillas should peel off the ziploc easily; if not then you might need to add some masa harina to the dough.
4. Heat a skillet or comal to medium heat. Add a tortilla and flip after 10 seconds. Then cook each side for 1-2 minutes or until light brown spots are forming. Alternatively, you can skip the quick flip and just cook each side for 1-2 minutes.

1. In a large bowl, combine the masa harina and sea salt together.
2. Pour the hot water and freshly squeezed lime juice into the masa mixture and stir with a spoon, forming a big ball. The dough should be firm and springy when touched, not dry or super sticky. If you need some more water, add it in small amounts until dough reaches the right consistency.
3. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or napkin and let the dough rest for about an hour.
4. Grab about a golf-ball sized chunk of the rested masa and form it into a ball by rolling it in the palm of your hands.
