Homemade Tortillas

A cinch to make + much more flavorful than supermarket varieties 

Ingredients

• 2  cups corn flour (I use Masa Harina - Bob’s  Red Mill brand)

• 1 3/4 cups water

• 1/2 lime

• 1 tsp salt (optional)

Instructions

• Mix all ingredients to form a damp dough

• If it is too dry add a bit more water

• Let rest for 15-30 min

• Form 1 1/2 - 2 inch balls and put each between two sheets of wax paper in a tortilla press 

• (Use a rolling pin if you don’t have a press, but I can highly recommend the press which I use for flatbreads and pitas as well)

• Stack the tortillas between wax papers until ready to grill

• Heat a griddle until very hot and place each tortilla on the griddle for 1 min per side or until it is slightly charred

• Keep them warm between dish towels or in a tortilla/pita bread warmer (see photo above)

Notes

• Makes 16 6-inch tortillas

• You can substitute the yellow corn flour with blue or plain flour depending on your preference

• These freeze very well - just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to defrost and soften them
