These Corn Tortillas are so simple to make that you will never buy store bought tortillas again and they have the added benefit of only having four ingredients! They work fantastically for tacos, as a “bread” for dipping in soup or my personal favorite, hot off the griddle covered in peanut butter and jelly for a snack.
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups Masa Harina Flour
1/4 cup arrow root powder
juice of half a lime
1 1/2 - 2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Mix the Masa Harina and the arrow root flour in a bowl
- Add lime juice
- Add a little water and stir with a fork until it forms little crumbles
- Add a little water at a time until mixture forms a ball
- Knead for a couple minutes
- Press into a ball with a flat top onto the cutting board
- Cut into 8 pie shaped sections
- Roll into balls
- Press each ball flat in a tortilla press lined with parchment paper
- Fry on a griddle for about 1 minute on one side
- Flip and fry other side

These looks good. Please save them as you cook them under a cloth to keep them soft so they don’t dry out.
Yummy! I’ve been meaning to try to make homemade tortillas for a while. They look so good. I want to dip them into some salsa. Do you have a good Nutritarian salsa recipe? All the store bought ones have tons of sodium.
Sorry, I don’t but that is one I can add to my list to try =)
Hello, just a note that the recipe above should say 1/4 CUP of arrowroot powder. Thank you.
thank you Colette. I got it corrected =)
