Homemade Maize Flour Tortillas

Homemade Maize Flour Tortillas are healthy, vegan and gluten-free. Homemade Maize Flour Tortillas are clean and easy to make. Homemade Maize Flour Tortillas just need 4 ingredients, that’s amazing, isn’t it? Once you learn how to make Homemade Maize Flour Tortillas, you’ll never wonder if corn tortillas are healthy again! No more wondering if they’re clean. No more buying tortillas with very few ingredients only to take them home and be totally unsatisfied by their dryness and lacking flavor.

Homemade corn tortillas are one of my favorite foods ever. They’re extremely versatile and can be eaten in so many different ways – as a taco, a quesadilla, a burrito, a simple side used to soak up delicious saucy dishes, fried or baked to make tortilla chips or tostadas and even alone as a snack.

They’re way better than store bought corn tortillas, are pretty healthy (depending on how many you eat, of course) and are a great gluten-free option for those that can’t have flour tortillas.

Homemade Maize Flour Tortillas

Tips:

• If the edges of the tortilla are uneven and crumbly, then dough needs a little more water.

    Hello, I just happened upon your recipe for maize flour tortillas and I can’t wait to try them.
    Just a quick question, how long can I keep the dough for? For example, if I make it now (approx 2pm) and wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap, can I set it aside and start cooking the tortillas later on today for dinner, say about 6pm?
    Many thanks,
    Kris
