Homemade Corn Tortillas

Take the time to make these naturally gluten-free tortillas for your family instead of using processed tortillas. I found this recipe for Corn Tortillas by Gimme Some Oven to be the easiest and most delicious homemade corn tortillas, so I am linking it here: Homemade Corn Tortillas. If it works, don't change it! This recipe by Gimme Some Oven is a healthy gluten-free recipe using only Mesa corn flour, water, and sea salt. The only thing I did differently from the recipe is roll the tortillas with a small marble rolling pin on wax paper and then peel off the wax paper before cooking them.

Directions for rolling out tortillas:

1. Put a small ball of dough on the wax paper.

2. Fold the wax paper over and roll with a small rolling pin.

3. Unfold the wax paper and peel it off the tortilla.

4. Place the tortilla in the pan to cook.
