Corn Tortillas



  • Ratio: 1/1 of masa harina (or maize flour) to boiling water. Maybe a little less water.
  • Fork together, leave for 10 mins.
  • Knead into a playdoh-like consistency.
  • Roll into small golf-balls of bounciness and splat between a tortilla press, always being sure to use some plastic wrap to line the press for easy removal (cut up sandwich bags are just fine).
  • Dry fry on a griddle until done.
  • Stack, covering with teatowel.
  • Turn upside down when serving because the bottom ones will be the softest.


I can't say that experimenting with LoFo foods has been an unmitigated pleasure, but Tortillas are, thank goodness, a tried and tested LoFo option approved by generations of Mexican grannies, not some pea-brained 'health expert' who doesn't know their gluten from their fructan  but insists the former will kill you stone dead. So, enjoy.
