Mexican tortilla tortilla

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a deep bowl of suitable size, sift the flour with salt and baking powder. Add soft butter.

3. Step 3:

   

   Rub the mixture with your hands until crumbs form and pour in water. We begin to knead the dough with a spoon directly from the bowl.

4. Step 4:

   

   When the dough begins to gather into a lump, we shift it to the work surface, which, if necessary, can be lightly sprinkled with flour. Knead a soft, tender dough. It is not worth much to hammer such dough with flour. We assemble the finished dough into a bun, cover it with cling film or a towel (I usually cover it with a film and a towel on top) and let it stand for 20-30 minutes so that it rests.

6. Step 5:

   

   We divide the finished dough into 4-5 equal-sized parts: you can divide the ball into sections, or you can roll out a tourniquet from the dough and divide it into identical pieces with a knife. Sometimes I divide "by eye ", and sometimes I use kitchen scales for this, so that all the blanks are of the same weight. Each piece is thinly rolled out with a rolling pin. The thickness of the tortilla should be about 1-2 mm, do not overdo it when rolling, otherwise the tortillas may turn out dry and brittle.

7. Step 6:

   

   Fry the tortillas in a dry frying pan over medium heat on both sides. The tortillas should be browned, but remain soft, do not over-dry.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put the finished tortillas on a flat dish (plate) and wrap them with a towel or put them in a saucepan and close the lid. So they will steam, remain soft and will not break.

9. Step 8:

   

   Ready-made tortillas are stored in a tightly sealed bag. Enjoy your meal!
