Gluten-free corn tortillas

Serves:

Ingredients

• 2 cups masa harina flour
• 1 tsp salt flakes

Method

Place masa harina flour in a large bowl with salt and combine. Add 1.5 cups hot water and stir to combine.

Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and a little springy. You may need to add more flour if it is too sticky, or more water if it is too dry. Leave the dough to rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into 18-20 portions and roll them into balls. Place between two sheets of baking paper and press to form a flat disc. Use a rolling pin to roll out into a flat circle, approximately 15-18cm in diameter. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect circles – they’ll still taste delicious!

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Spray with a little oil if necessary. Carefully place rolled tortilla in pan and cook for 1-2 minutes each side until the dough is dry and starting to brown in spots. Stack them wrapped in a clean tea towel as they cook. Serve immediately or set aside to reheat prior to eating.
