Homemade Gluten-Free Corn Tortilla

Recipe Description

I love to make this Homemade Gluten-Free Corn Tortilla recipe because not only does it give me an opportunity to use my tortilla press, but it makes delicious and naturally gluten free tortillas. These tortillas have become my go-to when I am making tacos now as they have an authentic taste and texture that I think the wheat tortillas lack.

Only three ingredients are needed to make these tortillas – masa harina corn flour, salt and water. Masa harina is dehydrated corn dough which is used to make tortillas, tamales and other corn based Mexican food.

To make Homemade Gluten-Free Corn Tortilla, you will need the following ingredients:

I’m super proud of these homemade gluten-free corn tortillas! Only three ingredients make it easy peasy. I whipped them up for taco night and my husband couldn’t get enough. Way better than store-bought for sure
