Tortillas without eggs in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the ingredients for making very simple tortillas, which consist of only 4 ingredients: flour, water, olive oil and salt.

2. Step 2:

   

   In a deep bowl, sift wheat flour through a sieve. In the center we make a recess into which we pour olive oil and add a pinch of salt. If there is no olive oil at home, it can be replaced with ordinary vegetable oil without smell. Also, pour a glass of hot water into the center of the flour.

3. Step 3:

   

   We begin to knead the dough. In order not to burn your hands, first we begin to knead the dough with a wooden spoon, but when the dough cools down a little, we knead it with our hands. The collected lump of dough is transferred to the work surface and knead the dough for about 10 more minutes. It should become elastic. Cover the container with the dough with cling film and leave it in this form for 20 minutes.

4. Step 4:

   

   After 20 minutes, we knead the dough again and divide it into 10 parts. I got 72 grams for each tortilla. The amount of dough received depends very much on the quality of the grinding of the flour used. To prevent the dough from drying, we close the resulting dough balls with a film.

6. Step 5:

   

   From one ball we roll a very thin cake with a diameter of 20-22 centimeters.

7. Step 6:

   

   Immediately spread it on a hot dry frying pan and fry on medium heat on both sides. There is no need to add oil. When frying, the tortillas swell, this is normal. If the cake is very swollen, you can carefully pierce it with a sharp knife.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put the finished tortillas on a wooden board in a stack on top of each other, cover with a clean towel and let them cool down a little. Pan-fried tortillas without eggs are ready to serve.
