Active Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6 tortillas

Ingredients

• 1 cup masa harina (corn flour)
• ¾ cup warm water
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for added softness)

These simple components are naturally plant-based, making the recipe perfect for vegan corn tortillas, while keeping it gluten-free and wholesome.

Instructions

Preparation

Start by whisking masa harina and salt in a medium bowl. Gradually add warm water, stirring constantly to coax the flour into a pliable, soft dough. Knead it for a couple of minutes until smooth but not sticky. Cover with a damp cloth while heating your pan, so it doesn’t dry out.

Cooking

Preheat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; the surface should feel slightly warm before laying down dough. Divide the dough into six balls. Flatten each ball using a tortilla press or a rolling pin sandwiched between parchment paper.

Place the flattened dough on the skillet. Cook each side 1-2 minutes, until light golden patches appear; resist the urge to overcook – flexibility is the key.

Serving

Warm tortillas are a blank canvas:

• Layer grilled vegetables with avocado for a satisfying, healthy corn tortillas wrap
• Black beans, fresh salsa, and a squeeze of lime make for a quick protein boost
• Sautéed peppers and vegan cheese turn them into a snack that feels indulgent
