Corn Tortillas

Soft, warm, and naturally gluten-free, homemade corn tortillas bring a fresh flavor and texture you just can’t get from store-bought. With only a few ingredients and a little practice, you’ll have tender, flexible tortillas ready for tacos, enchiladas, or your favorite fillings.

Serves: 12 | Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free masa harina[1]

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water

  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Make the dough.

    1. In a large bowl, mix together masa harina and salt. Mix well.

    2. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft pliable dough forms.[2]

    3. Cover dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

  2. Shape the dough.

    1. Divide dough into twelve portions and roll each into a ball.

    2. Place a ball between two sheets of parchment paper and press flat using a tortilla press or heavy skillet until about 1/8 thick.

    3. Repeat for each portion.

  3. Cook the tortillas.

    1. Heat a skillet on medium-high.

    2. Cook until lightly browned and slightly puffy, about 45-50 seconds per side.

    3. Repeat for each tortilla.

  4. Serve[3] and enjoy!

Notes

[1] Masa harina is a high risk item for wheat cross- contamination. Check the label for gluten-free designation.

[2] Dough should be moist but not sticky. If you press the dough and it cracks, add a tsp of water at a time until smooth.

[3] Keep warm wrapped in a towel.
