  • 1 cup gluten free cornmeal

  • Water

Directions

  • Cut the dough into 12 even balls.

  • Allow the dough to sit for at least 10 minutes while covered.

  • Slightly wet hands with warm water and flatten the dough balls into thick tortillas.

  • Cook over medium high heat in a cast iron frying pan until the edges of each dough cake begin to appear dry. Flip the cakes to ensure they are cooked thoroughly on each side.
