These golden tortillas only require a handful of ingredients and make a change from breads. Traditionally they are made using Masa Harina flour which is golden corn flour and very different from standard cornflour. This is available from supermarkets, health shops and online. However, you can also use a mixture of fine polenta and gluten free flour. Roll them out thinly so that they can be rolled or folded once cooked.

Polenta is naturally gluten free. It contains both protein and fibre to help you feel fuller for longer. It also provides carotenoids to support healthy immune, skin and eye health plus magnesium and zinc.
These make a great alternative to shop bought gluten free wraps. They also freeze well. You can simply roll them out and freeze after cooking. They can then be reheated wrapped in foil in the oven or microwaved.
