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
Make the dough.
In a large bowl, mix together masa harina and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add water, mixing until a soft pliable dough forms.[2]
Cover dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Shape the dough.
Divide dough into twelve portions and roll each into a ball.
Place a ball between two sheets of parchment paper and press flat using a tortilla press or heavy skillet until about 1/8 thick.
Repeat for each portion.
Cook the tortillas.
Heat a skillet on medium-high.
Cook until lightly browned and slightly puffy, about 45-50 seconds per side.
Repeat for each tortilla.
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.
