| 1. *Please read recipe introduction before proceeding!*. | 2. Place the dry masa harina mix in a large mixing bowl. | 3. In a small bowl add about 1 tablespoon of recado rojo (you can always add more later). Whisk in some water about 1/2 cup to make a paste. | 4. Add this mixture to the bowl of dry masa harina mix. Now stir in enough water to make a pliable dough (or however much water the package of masa harina states on the back of the bag minus 1/2 cup water). | 5. Form into tortillas. | 6. Heat up the oil in a deep fryer, wok or heavy skillet (cast iron being my preference) to fry the tortillas until bright orange-red and crispy. Place the tortillas on a paper towel to drain the excess oil. | 7. Try the tortillas with this!: Recipe #496068. | 8. Yield is estimated. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
