Lean tortillas in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the products necessary for cooking lean tortillas in a frying pan. You will need:wheat flour, water, vegetable oil, as well as a little salt and ground black pepper. Vegetable oil should preferably be taken without a pronounced aroma, the ideal option is extra virgin olive oil.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift wheat flour into a large bowl, add ground black pepper, mix. Heat the water to 80-90 degrees, add salt to the water, mix so that all the salt crystals dissolve. Gradually add salt water to the flour. Water may require a little more. Focus on the state of the test. Add vegetable oil and replace the plastic dough.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cover the dough with a clean bag and leave for 15-30 minutes. Then knead the dough again with your hands. You will feel that the dough will become smoother, and it will also be significantly softer, more pliable. Divide the dough into several pieces and roll them into balls. The size of the balls will depend on the desired size of the finished cakes.

5. Step 4:

   

   Roll out each ball into a round layer. Using a saucer or plate, cut circles with a knife.

6. Step 5:

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. Spread the dough circles one by one into the hot oil and fry until delicious browning. Then turn the tortilla over and fry on the other side. Spread the finished tortillas on a large dish covered with paper towels or napkins. When all the tortillas are fried, cover them with an inverted bowl so that they do not dry out, and also so that they soften from their own heat and moisture.
