Make sure it is pretty moist, but not runny. Roll it into a ball, cover and let it rest for about and hour. Once rested, roll into 1" balls. Use a tortilla press with the help of a cut out plastic bag that is about the size of your press. Grab a little ball and press it gently between your hands to form a thick patty.
