Simple tortillas in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the dough for simple unleavened tortillas. We heat the water in an iron bowl, kettle or saucepan to a temperature of 40 degrees. Pour the water into a deep bowl, add salt and mix with a spoon until it dissolves. Now we begin to pour in the flour, which we have already measured, sifting it through a strainer so that no foreign impurities get into the dough. We begin to knead the dough with a spoon. I advise you to pour 220 grams of flour first and add it already on the table.

2. Step 2:

   

   When the dough grabs in a lump, we shift it to a floured work surface. Gradually mixing the remaining flour (30 grams), knead the dough. Flour may need a little less or a little more, depends on the flour itself. Focus on the consistency of the dough - not too tight, but not too soft. We form a ball from the dough and leave it to lie under the film for 10 minutes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Form a sausage from the ball and cut it into 10-12 identical pieces. Sprinkle the table and the dough pieces with flour.

5. Step 4:

   

   9 pieces put aside, take one and roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin cake of the same size with the bottom of your frying pan. If the cake does not come out perfectly round, and you want just such a one, then you can use a plate of the appropriate size as a template and cut off the edges that will peek out from under it. Next, we form the remaining tortillas.

6. Step 5:

   

   Heat the frying pan over medium heat, do not lubricate it with anything. Spread the tortilla and fry for 20-30 seconds on each side until brown spots appear. Do not over-dry the tortillas, otherwise they will be dry and crack when you try to roll them.

7. Step 6:

   

   Ready-made tortillas can be immediately put in a plastic bag so that they remain soft and easily curl into a tube, if suddenly you want to additionally stuff them with meat, cheese, vegetables, etc.
