Homemade Gluten Free Corn Torillas
This recipe is easy to make and only has 3 ingredients! It makes delicious, soft, foldable, and gluten free tortillas. This is made with Masa Harina Golden Corn Flour, the traditional flour that is used to make corn tortillas - this is different from regular corn flour.
Equipment
- 1 Tortilla Press Optional
- 1 Ceramic Tortilla Warmer Optional
Ingredients
- 2 cups organic masa harina golden corn flour
- 1½ to 1⅔ cups hot water
- ¾ tsp himalayan sea salt
Instructions
Mix the Dough
- Add 1 ⅔ cups of water to a large pot and boil.
- Add the masa harina corn flour into a large mixing bowl.
- Slowly add 1½ cups of hot water into the golden corn flour and use a wooden spoon to stir as you are adding the water. Mix well. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it makes a smooth ball, similar to Play-Doh. Add more hot water if necessary.
Rest the Dough
- Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
Make Corn Flour Scoops
- Use a medium ice cream scoop to make the dough into approximately 12 scoops. Place the scoops onto a sheet of unbleached parchment paper.
Press the Tortillas
- Place each dough scoop onto another piece of unbleached parchment paper and place another piece of parchment paper on top. Use a tortilla press or a rolling pin to gently press the scoop into a 5-6" tortilla.
Cook the Tortillas
- Brush 2 non-toxic non-stick pans with olive oil and heat to low-medium.
- Cook each tortilla for at least 60 seconds on each side.
- Place each tortilla on a pastry cooling rack to allow them to cool.
Serve
- For the tortillas that you will be serving during your meal, cover a plate with a kitchen towel and keep them covered so that they do not dry out. Alternatively, you can keep them warm in a ceramic tortilla warmer.
Refrigerator or Freezer Storage
- Place the tortillas in a large glass Pyrex storage container (or large ziploc bag) and separate each tortilla with a piece of unbleached parchment paper. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or in the freezer for 3-4 months.
