Mix the masa, salt and water together into a smooth consistency for about 3 to 5 minutes. If working in large amounts cover bowl with a damp towel to keep from drying out.Take a piece of the dough and roll into a firm ball.

I didn’t have a tortilla press o I placed the masa ball in between two pieces of waxed paper and applied pressure with a cutting board.
