Fructose Free Vegan Corn Tortillas

Warm, freshly pressed corn tortillas are one of those simple pleasures that store-bought versions can never quite replicate. Made with just masa harina, salt, and water, this recipe is naturally free of the fruit-derived sugars and high-fructose ingredients that can make packaged tortillas a minefield for anyone managing fructose sensitivity. The short ingredient list means there's nothing hidden — no sweeteners, no fruit-based additives, just the clean, earthy flavor of nixtamalized corn. The technique is straightforward: mix, rest, press, and cook on a hot cast iron skillet until those telltale brown spots appear and the edges lift from the pan. Wrapping the finished tortillas in a kitchen towel to steam is the small but crucial step that gives them that soft, pliable texture you want for tacos, wraps, or just eating warm with a little salt. Whether you use a tortilla press or a rolling pin, the process is meditative and genuinely satisfying once you get into a rhythm. These are the kind of tortillas that make you wonder why you ever bought the packaged kind.
