Corn tortillas are a staple food in Mexican cuisine. They are an important part of many traditional dishes like tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. These homemade corn tortillas have a simple and delicious flavor that goes well with any filling. By making your own tortillas, you can control the ingredients and enjoy a healthier and fresher option. They are perfect for anyone who wants to incorporate more whole grains into their diet or follow a low-point diet like WW.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Add water gradually, stirring well, until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
2.	Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
3.	Place a ball between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a tortilla press and press down until a flat disc is formed.
4.	Heat a non-stick skillet or comal (griddle) over medium heat and cook each tortilla for about 30-60 seconds on each side or until slightly browned.

PROS

These homemade corn tortillas are easy to make and only have 1 WW point per tortilla.

They taste fresh and authentic, and are much healthier than store-bought tortillas as they don’t contain any preservatives or additives.

CONS

Corn tortillas are high in carbs, so they should be enjoyed in moderation for those watching their carb intake.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Masa harina is made with whole corn kernels, which means it is a good source of fiber.
Corn tortillas are also naturally gluten-free and contain less fat than flour tortillas.
