  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      cups          masa harina
   1 1/2  cups          salsa -- fresh, puree

Put masa  harina in a bowl and mix in the pureed salsa with a wooden 
spoon. Form  dough into 12 pieces (balls) . Form tortillas by hand or a 
tortilla press. Also by using a rolling pin to flatten the ball of dough 
between two sheets of plastic wrap. Place tortilla onto a 
very hot ungreased griddle or skillet. Cook for 30 seconds on each side. 
The edges of the tortillas will brown and lift when they are ready to turn 
to the other side. The salsa tortillas are great.

If the dough is to dry just add more liquid or if it is to wet just add 
more masa. This dough is very hardy, you can't hurt it.

You can use most any liquid to add to the masa as long as it is the equal 
amount the recipe calls for.



Tortillas can be frozen. They also keep well in the refridgerator.

Makes 12 tortillas.
