Combine ingredients into a large bowl. Mix / knead for 2 minutes until dough forms into a ball.

Allow dough to rest for 20-30 minutes so the masa can thoroughly absorb the moisture from the water and the oil.

After the dough has rested, divide dough into one ounce portions. (This should be between 18-20 small balls of dough.)

Place a square of wax paper or plastic wrap on the bottom of the tortilla press. Place the one ounce dough ball on top of the wax paper,in the center of the tortilla press. Then top with another piece of wax paper / plastic wrap. Finally press the dough until a tortilla forms.

Cook the tortilla on a preheated griddle, one minute per side.

Transfer to a container to keep warm until you are ready to serve.
