Lean Mexican flatbread on water

An easy-to-prepare tortilla will serve as an excellent basis for snacks! Lean Mexican tortilla is called Tortilla in another way. Usually a lean flatbread is prepared from wheat or corn flour. By the way, Spanish tortillas have nothing to do with Mexican tortillas, they are all of the same name. This cooking recipe is made from wheat flour. And wheat tortilla is very different from corn. It is better because it lasts longer and remains soft.

To make lean Mexican tortillas, I sift the flour into a deep bowl, add baking powder and mix thoroughly. Then I add vegetable fat to the flour and mix with a whisk until a crumbly homogeneous mass.

After that, I dissolve salt in warm water, and pour salt water into a bowl with flour in a thin stream, stirring constantly so that the flour can absorb all the liquid. I knead the dough for about 2 minutes and form a small ball from the dough, cover it with a light napkin, leave it for half an hour.

After the dough is infused, I divide it into 10-12 parts, roll out each part into a thin cake and fry them in a frying pan with a thick bottom. I serve such tortillas with food, where there is a lot of greasy gravy. Well, I learned a detailed description of this culinary recipe from the famous chef Jason Hill.
