Homemade Gluten-Free Corn Tortilla

Steps to make

1. 1

   Make the dough

   10 min
   

   Place the masa harina and salt in a large mixing bowl. Start pouring in about 1 cup of the hot water and mix with the flour and salt using a large spoon or your hand. Gradually add more water, about 1 tablespoon at a time until a soft ball of dough that is soft and pliable forms.

2. 2

   Shape the dough into small balls

   10 min
   

   Divide the dough ball into 12-16 equal pieces and roll into small balls. Cover with a damp towel.

4. 3

   Flatten each dough ball into a tortilla

   10 min
   

   Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, roll the dough into flat tortillas.

5. 4

   Heat a skillet

   5 min
   

   Place a cast iron griddle or heavy-based skillet over medium heat until warm.

6. 5

   Cook the tortillas

   20 min
   

   Cook the tortillas one at a time by placing each one on the hot pan. After about 1 minute when the tortilla just begins to brown, flip it to cook the other side.

7. 6

   Keep the cooked tortillas warm

   2 min
   

   Pile the cooked tortillas into a stack and wrap them in a towel or place them in a tortilla bowl where they will stay warm until serving.

8. 7

   Serve

   

   Serve the tacos with your favorite fillings. I love to serve these with my Ground Chicken with Creamy Salsa recipe.
