Best Tortillas De Maiz (corn tortillas) GLUTEN FREE 

Our daughter became highly allergic to corn in her 20’s. She loves Hispanic foods but has missed out. I used your corn tortilla recipe using almond meal/flour and they are perfect! They aren’t yellow but the texture is spot on! Love your channel!

Oh Rachel! My husband surprised me with a gift of a tortilla press for our anniversary yesterday and I was so anxious to use it that I had to try it out last night. I used Masteca in the gold package like you prefer & followed your directions to the letter. I have never even attempted to make any kind of tortillas in my life & these turned out PERFECT! They were all the same size and soft and pliable and so tasty that we ate about 10 between the two of us! I can’t thank you enough for being such a wonderful teacher and such an inspiration to me to have the desire to make new food! I’m having such a great time learning & experimenting! You’re a beautiful soul. God bless you 🙏🏻♥️. Debi

I am so glad to have found this video. I grew up with a wonderful Hispanic cook that cooked for our family. One of my favorite treats was when Carmen made corn tortillas & sliced them open with butter & salt. Sometimes she would dice up a leftover pork chop with some green salsa. I couldn't wait to get home from school to see what Carmen had waiting for me. She was the best cook & I am so glad to have had her in my life.

I swear I could smell them as I watched you cooking them. They look delicious! I ordered a tortilla press today so I can make my own. I am gluten free so these are perfect for me. I love watching your videos. You explain everything so well. ❤

I've made corn tortillas often, but they have never been pliable which has been frustrating. I followed the recipe and technique and paid close attention to look and feel per the video. I am over the moon - they are wonderfully bendy!!!! I have been a bread baker for over 40 years and sourdough the last 5 and I KNOW that mixing and resting is important, but I never thought to pay attention like that with tortillas. Now that I've made them successfully, I think my mistakes were: dough to dry, dough not mixed well enough, too much flipping on a comal that was not hot enough. Using your timing and temp, mine puffed just like yours. So happy - thank you Rachel!!

This week I finally bought a tortilla press, comal, and mocajete. I can't wait to watch this again and do it myself! Thank you so much. You make it look so easy because you are that good!

Your video covers all the questions I had after tossing out 2 batches of my first time corn tortilla attempts hahaha! I decided to try making tortilla cause I had the best first time experience eating tacos by chance just because I happened to be in an area in California with good Mexican restaurants. As a baker and cook I thought I can do this hahaha! little did I know as you said, its one of those very easy yet very complicated situation learning how certain flours work. Cause of you I will try again :-) Thank you sweet Rachel, you are adorable !

As I was watching this video and paying attention to your hand movements, the way you speak, the way you put your heart into your cooking, I realized you remind me so much of my mother-in-law. She owned a restaurant for a while and then she worked as school lunch room manager for several years. And now her daughter, my wife, has worked in the food business most of her life.

Just great. I learned so much. I have never cut my hefty bag in half. I always just left it together split the sides and kind of folded it. Having the plastic in 2 pieces is such a great idea. Seems to help peel the plastic off without tearing up the tortilla. Love your videos!

Thank you Rachel now I can try my luck. I missed out on learning all my grandma's recipes as she passed away too early plus I was an Army brat and we moved around so much so I missed out on learning how to prepare many things. Tortillas was one thing she made day and I remember how fascinated I was watching and sneaking a bit of raw dough to eat. You bring back many memories, so glad you are sharing these foods.

Thank you! I've watched a lot of videos on tortilla making but yours helped me understand the perfect hydration and texture for the dough. Yesterday I made a big batch based on a different video that told you how much water to add. I had about 150gm of masa left over before I open a new bag so after watching your video I used that to make three 😁. Puff was perfect. My puff yesterday was hit and miss. My dough wasn't hydrated enough. This wasn't even my first time but you helped me understand the perfect hydration AND a lot of videos say your pan should be medium low and they look like they're using a non-stick pan. I fired my cast iron up today. 👍 BIG THANK YOU. I made three just now. Perfect!

Rachel I have just made your corn tortillas and they blew up amazing and so soft! My husband Mark is a coeliac (totally gluten free) and he says it’s a game changer! 😊. 💜💜💜

I love how you give each tortilla a little tap after you turn it. Almost ritualistic. Lol. You do cook with love. Just subscribed. I live just down the road where Maseca is processed and I’ve never made corn tortillas. I will now thanks to you.

You are the best cook ever!!! I live in NC, But born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. Que Dios te bendiga, tu Amiga para siempre!!!

Rachel, I have just recently found your channel, and so happy I did. I wanted to thank you SO much for the detailed intructions for your corn tortillas! I made my first batch, and remembered how you said it should be like Playdough. I got the consistency just right, and made the most amazing corn tortillas I have ever had! Thank you so much! I am going thru your videos, and learning your recipes, and writing things down. Again, thank you so much!

Great video! You are a great teacher. I have been making my own corn tortillas for a few years now, the package tortillas have a weird taste. I also cook mine on a cast iron skillet. I know the skillet is hot enough when I sprinkle a few drops of water and the water "jumps" and quickly evaporates. I also knead the "taistal" once again individually before placing it on the plastic. The only thing different is I use a thinner plastic for the tortilla press. Completely agree, after making them a few times, you can make them in your sleep. My mom can flip the tortillas without using the spatula, I can flip it using my hand only the second time, not the first time. She started making tortillas when she was 9 years old, she even cooked the nixtamal and ground the maize herself in the farm, so I am proud to say that even though I have never cooked nixtamal, I can at least make them from masca!

Rachel, my mom used to use a plastic bag that she cut to size when pressing corn tortillas in the tortillera! I loved all your tips, and my mouth was watering when you prepared the delicious looking taco at the end!

My husband is from Central America and I’m from South America so I taught myself how to make corn tortillas for him to eat at home and like you i tru out a lot of totilla dough I figured the warm water trick but not letting the dough rest and because of that they would always break, stick on my wooden corn presser no matter how much I try. Thank you for your well detail videos. Muchas gracias de una latina a otra.

My husband gave me a tortilla press for Christmas. My 1st attempt was a big fail! They stuck to plastic so bad ....Gave them all to the chickens! I will try again after watching this and seeing your tips and encouragement. Thanks Rachel.

Wow Rachel You're amazing! I'm 74 years old and have never been able to cook Corn tortillas. You my friend have encouraged me to try again. You are a wonderful teacher! Gracias.💞👍

Youd make a good high school teacher for kids who like to cook..

Thank you for sharing your recipes. So many of us had mother’s who worked to much to have time to show us. You’re a great teacher and very explanatory. Love your channel!

Thank you Rachel. I have been yearning to make my own tortillas since forever! But had no clue. I've never been a good cook and many try's have been disasters, so I've all but given up. Will let you know how mine turn out following your instructions. You make it very easy to follow.

Perfect recipe for corn tortilla's, simple, fast. Won't buy store tortillas anymore. Thanks for sharing.

I successfully made them for the first time at home. They came out perfect and delicious. Soft and all ! Thank you Rachel !!

I'm so glad I found your channel. You are so much better at teaching than most other hosts. Sometimes, I think the others are all about promoting their personalities, instead of teaching.., sort of patting themselves on the back... I like your way, and your unassuming personality. It's a pleasure listening to you. You explain things that I need to know, where as the others act as if I already know everything... and I don't!

Rachel, God bless you and Ron always for showing us how to cook foods! 🥰 I love the sounds you make when tasting your own food. I like my food, too 👍😁

Rachel......You make me smile.....You REALLY do cook with LOVE. Thank you!

I’ve never made them. Looks so good! I hadn’t had an appetite for like two years! I was in depression and just wasn’t feeling well at all. Then Covid hits me! But watching you!!! I have gained 3 pounds eating your recipes! Yeah!!! Thank you! You make the food look so good and it does taste so dam good!

Absolutely love all your cooking videos, I have called all my friends and highly recommended they watch all your videos you have available. you have such a beautiful personality and love for cooking. You make everything look so easy and I love the way your present each dish and I you make it so personable when you talk about all the things you make for your husband Ron. I also recently saw your video on your pots and pans you like to use. and also loved seeing all your aprons and I especially related to the things you remember about your Grandmother may she RIP, it reminded me of my grandmother and her cooking as well.she too wore an apron everyday, all day. I look forward to seeing all the videos and recipes yet to come, they are what I call the real deal on Mexican cuisine. Hope to see a video on how to cook authentic menudo.

Dear Rachel, I'm Annette. I watch u from California. Thank u for your delicious recipes. You are really great! You could have your own cooking show on TV! I enjoy your videos so much and have tried some of your recipes I've seen so far . The ones I've tried turned out well. I love your kitchen! I love your voice, and the way u explain things. You are an excellent cooking teacher!!!thank u !

Finally, by following your video, I made corn tortillas that came out perfectly! Delicious! Thank you, Rachel!

Thank you for sharing how to make corn tortillas. I now have done them twice. These last ones were better then the first. Practice makes them better. I appreciate you. I like watching your videos. 😊

You are such a wonderful teacher! Ran across your channel a couple of weeks ago and subscribed. I am learning so much from you. Thank you for your videos!

it worked the first time. I’ve tried and failed with so many other recipes. Thank YOU!!!

My first taste of corn tortillas was over a year ago when I bought some from the grocery store to do chicken fajitas. The packaging made them look authentic, but they were nothing of the sort; they were rubbery and had some offputting, bitter, chemical taste. Needless to say, I threw the whole bag into the garbage. Recently, I began trying to make them at home; they tasted great, but they didn't puff up and were dry and tough, as well as broke when folded. I watched your video months ago, and I watched it again yesterday. Well, I must say that I just got through making a batch tonight, and these are the best ever! I paid attention to the measurements and "playdough" texture/consistency, and I let them rest in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for about two hours. I followed also your cooking time and temperature recommendations. I don't have a press, yet; I forgot to look for one in the grocery store when I shopped yesterday. I used a heavy cast-iron pan to do the pressing. I measured with a scale 8 balls (45 grams each), and the size was perfect. Now, I know how to get real corn tortillas at home. Thanks so much for your kindness, showing us how to make our own. Happy New Year!

Hi! Again!…I was able to finally make these tortillas following your great directions. They came out delicious & puffed up beautifully which has never happened! 😏 I can’t believe I had been doing them wrong all these years! It makes so much sense to knead and let the dough rest to get them fully hydrated! Maybe that’s why my grandma did but I just didn’t remember, cause hers were great too! So again, thank you so much for all your wonderful Utube videos! ❤️

“Corn tortillas can be the easiest thing and the hardest thing” lol found this out very quickly after only making them a few times. Excited to try out your tips

We love you Rachel! We are listening to you as we make them, and they are turning out great thanks to your awesome teaching!! Thank you so much, and happy new year!

The most educational video on corn tortilla making. On my schedule for today. Many thanks.

I love your step by step processes on all your videos!

I just tried. Needs a little work. But they taste amazing. The dough was right consistency. ❤️❤️❤️ thank you!!

I learn something every time I watch her! I adore her!

I wish you were my grandma. Oh my goodness I’m obsessed with your content and you seem like an amazing beautiful person.

Oh thank you Rachel! I have had a tortilla press for over 10 years and had no clue how to use it nor had any kind of recipe!!! I love tortillas and corn are my favorite. I will be making these and so many more of your wonderful recipes!!! Blessings to you and Ron.

Thank you Rachel for sharing your love of cooking. There are so many dishes I couldn’t get right. You’ve inspired me so many times to try again . God bless you.

Thank you! I have been under hydrating my dough. This has helped. Still not there yet but your video helped me!

I'm making this tortilla for the first time and I'm excited 😊 you are an excellent teacher ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much for sharing!

I just got a tortilla press from my daughter for my birthday. Wish me luck! By the way, I absolutely ADORE YOU.

I have to make it soon! Thank you for the lesson on how to make them Rachel. I loved watching you .

God love ya Rachel 😊, your the best 🍳 cook ever. I followed your recipe and I got the best Corn 🌽 tutorials ever. God bless you. Columbia SC.

You are entertaining in addition to a great teacher! My hubby loved the smothered pork chops, thank you!!

I tried this by using the recipe on the bag, huge mistake! Thank you Rachel, not only for this video but your loving encouragement and please thank Ron also! Will keep trying.

RACHEL YOU'RE AMAZING !!!! Everything you cook is delicious!! 💥

Dear Rachel, You said to leave a comment or request. So here goes... Please would you come to Oregon and teach me to cook??? LoL Actually, I'd probably fall over dead if that ever happened. My dream is to learn to make Tortillas, Chimichangas, and Tamales... Not spicy hot! Only spicy smoky. Anyway...I live in Oregon. I live in an area that is FILLED with the wonders of Mexican cooking...and I am sadly, nearly clueless in this area. LoL. I've made Tamales exactly one time in the 20 years I've lived here. That was for a fund raiser and was under the strict guidance of a woman from Mexico. It. Was. Wonderful. I've wanted to learn how to do it on a much smaller scale ever since. Thank you for your channel. I discovered it yesterday. I've seen about twenty of them so far and I love them all. ❤️ Consider me one of your newest best fans. Brenda~ (bree)

Thank you so much for your videos. I learn alot and love your "cooking classes" for me. You are so warm and friendly and I feel as if you have me/us right there in front of you and you're talking right to me. You are a natural. Keep up the videos. I love learning. God bless you

it was great! now my corn tortillas will be soft! thanks for sharing will keep learning from you! Viewers from Texas!

I absolutely love you and your recipes!!! I can't thank you enough for sharing all your tricks...you have already worked out all the kinks and we can benefit from all your trails and errors...and there's the bonus of enjoying your precious personality...we do themed meals for Christmas we just don't 2 holiday Thanksgiving meals that close to dinner and I have decided this Christmas is a selection of your videos I will make...i

I am on a quest to make corn tortillas. Hopefully your tips will give me success.

Hi Rachel, I just made these and My Jim was crazy for them. I've tried other corn Tortilla recipes before and they never turned out!! Yours were spot on !!! & delicious. Made them with your Sopa de coditos con carne molida . YUM!!! Didn't get a picture of them, cause they got eaten so quickly. Thank you!

Thank you Rachel you are spot on with your instructions! I appreciate that! Step by step instructions! Super hero cook! 💜✌️👍🔥🔥👏👏🆒

This is my first time making corn tortillas, and your video is exactly what gave me the confidence to begin lol

Hi Rachel! You've been such a joy and blessing. I have enjoyed watching your videos.You remind me of my Dad's tex mex family style. My dad was born in el paso. Earlier this year, he parted from this world.. Finding your channel has been a welcoming and heart warning adventure. I've seen so many of your videos, and this recipe was my first attempt at making corn tortillas. I had everything on hand, and your recipe is super! One question, what tortilla press are you using? I've been looking for one for some time, and the reviews on them are horrible. I haven't found one worth getting. I rolled out my tortillas with a rolling pin. Have a beautiful day on this day The Father in heaven has made! Blessings to you ave yours!

I LOVE❤ ALL YOUR COOKING VIDEO'S &ALL YOUR RECIPES AND THOSE CORN 🌽 TORTILLAS LOOKS 👍 GOOD

Hi Rachel! I know this is an older video, so I don't know if you will see my question, but I'll give it a try. Can you store left over tortillas in the fridge? If so, for how long? Also, I just wanted you to know, you're the best teacher! Everything I've made from your recipes has turned out so yummy! Thank you so much! 😃

Made them for the first time today and they were amazing. Only 2 were not perfect due to operator error!!! Thank you very much!!!!

I’ve been wanting this recipe for a very long time! Thank you so much for sharing ♥️

Thank you so much! You are such a great teacher. I've had all the problems you were talking about! Now I'm going to try it your way. Gracias!

After 3 weeks of failures...your video fixed everything I was doing wrong. Respecto y gratitud genuinos :)

A tortilla press will arrive this week and am looking forward to trying your recipe. I tried to make tortillas about thirty years ago and it was a dismal failure. I tossed out my tortilla press and resigned myself to eating store bought. After watching your video, I bought a new press and will take the leap.

Rachel large or medium egg is a much better description & comparasion that Ron's quail eggs. Quail eggs are very tiny like same size as a large olive. :)

As always👍👍👍👍you are the best. I just got my press so thank you for explaining so thoroughly ❤️. I did it just the way you said and it’s perfect the first time. 🙏

looks like golf ball size to me lol and that worked for me. thanks for this video its so much easier then the way i was shown water salt and maseca easy as pie.

Thanks stopped making them my tortillas always got stuck to plastic but you make me want to try again .You made it look so easy.Wish me luck.

Looks so delicious. I will make my corn tortillas now because you have motivated me to. Thank you. I loved your video.

Well Ma'am my wife just sent me your video, and i absolutely enjoy watching how you prepare them. They look soooloooooooo good!!!!!!Thank you very much!!

Rachel, I finally got brave enough to make these by following your explicit instructions , they came out perfect I think. Thank you so much for sharing your “tips” with us, otherwise I don’t think I would have been successful 👍🏼🥰🎉 I’d attach photo , but I don’t think it will let me

Need to have my kids learn that..corn tortillas taco night thanks ..

I've made 3 batches of tasty but too-wet tortillas! This video is excellent in showing the kneading process and what it should look like! Many thanks! Tacos tomorrow...

My hubby loves mexican food..a we only have taco bell here in ky but we got afew authentic restaurants ..

I did a cook along with your video and they came out AMAZING, moist tender and great flavor…..Gracias que Rico!!!!

I told my husband tonight that “Rachel taught me how to make corn tortillas today”. I am going to make these since you are such an awesome inspiration and teacher! I just love all of your videos!! Thank you for doing these videos. 😍

I bought a Dash double griddle on qvc so I make six at one time. In and out of kitchen in no time. I also buy organic masa from bob's red mill the taste is amazing.

Making these right now 😁 dough is resting. Can't wait!! I LOVE corn tortillas!

Thank you Rachel its with your help I was able to perfect my flour tortillas and show my kids and grands 👍🏼now I will try the corn tortillas ❤️

You are so talented. Were you born in America or Mexico. Is your husband from Mexico also. I cannot stop watching your channel. We love Mexican food. You are so meticulous and patient when you cook.🥰

I just made 4 off thems, love it. With turkeys and Korean BBQ Teriyaki. So good.

Awesome video... Just spread butter and a dash of salt on top,,,, heaven!!! The neighborhood tortilla's factory in mexico would keep a salt shaker on the counter, you could just reach for it, sprinkle salt on freshly made tortilla and yummy, kids would walk back home, a rolled up tortilla in hand, happy as happy can be. The good old days when it was safe for kids to walk two blocks to the "tortilleria" ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are so good Rachel, thank you, can you open them by hand if you don't have a presser?

Rachel Girl I love how easy it looks but I have never made homeade tortillas in my life but do plan to now after seeing how you did it. Thank you again!!! Excellente!!!

Rachael I love your style and your recipes are so well explain love it 👍🏽

Hi Rachel, i love your Videos, they look all so delicios. I have a Question to your Tortillas de Maiz, are they glutenfree? I must eat glutenfree and i am not sure about the flower. I am from Austria and we didn 't have the same flour than you in Texas. Can i use normal flower from Maiz? I must try it, i am not sure about the kneading only with the hand, i hope it is not too sticky and everthing sticks on my hands. Cooking without gluten is very tricky and somtimes so difficult. Excuse my bad english, but it's a long time ago, since i had learned it in school. But you speak so perfect, so it's no problem to follow your receipes. Thank you so much that you share it here on RU-vid. Greetings from Austria, Roswitha

Do those have a pocket like pocket bread if you cut them in half? You explain things so well. Thank you for the great tutorials

Awesome Rachel! They look yummy.... Look forward to making them! You're a great teacher! So calm! Thank you ☺️

Thanks for this recepie, I'm going to make this tortillas, they look so delicious and challenging, I have a hard time making them, the flour ones are not this complicated!

I grew up on Maseca…. My mom would add it to stew chicken… so delicious. Thank you 😊

Now i have a recipe for making corn tortillas. Will try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Thankyou rachel..for yourtortilla recipe..

Thank you for explaining the process. It has been very helpful.♥️

Thank you so much Rachael for making these corn tortillas for so long I have been wanting to learn how to make corn tortillas.Your friend from Texas
