Tacos made from polenta

[Jimmy]

I had a pack of polenta.
Thought I would make some tacos.
Added water but couldn't get it to form a dough. It kept falling appart. Tried to roll it out to no avail.
In the end I just spooned it into a pan and fried it as lumps.
Most disappointing.

Any ideas, is polenta OK?
Thanks Jimmy

Jimmy you could try adding oil like in this recipe :-

^Well, that's interesting. I was given some nixtamalized corn (blue and yellow) once, but both packets were full of grubs. So, I have a tortilla press still waiting for a purpose. I will give this a try. Thanks for asking the question, Jimmy, and thanks for providing the solution, Bren.

If you have trouble rolling out a mix like that try rolling it sandwiched between two sheets of cling film or greaseproof paper or silicon sheets.

My husband is gluten free - gluten free pastry doesn't hold together and that works a treat for me.
