Wheat tortilla

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the dough for lean tortillas. It will turn out not very tight, so the tortillas will not break after baking in a dry pan. The main thing is to observe the proportions. In a bowl, sift the flour and mix it with salt with a spoon.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour in refined vegetable oil.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix flour with butter with a spoon. Pour in hot water, which should be at a temperature of 50-60 degrees. If there is nothing to measure the temperature of the water, then you can just boil it and let it cool down for 3 minutes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Start mixing everything with a spoon.

6. Step 5:

   

   When the mass thickens, we transfer the dough to the table and knead it with our hands. If necessary, you can sift a little flour on the table. It is not necessary to knead for a long time, since the dough does not like water" long contact with hands, unlike yeast. In total, it will take us 5 minutes to knead the dough from scratch. We form a ball, cover it with a film and let it rest for 15 minutes.

7. Step 6:

   

   Rested dough is divided into 6 parts. We take one piece, roll it out thinly with a rolling pin into a flat cake. If it was not possible to roll out a neat round cake, then you can put a plate of a suitable diameter on top and trim the edges. From the remains of the dough, we also form tortillas - I got 2. In total (together with the trimmed dough) 7-8 thin tortillas will come out.

8. Step 7:

   

   Spread each tortilla on a dry preheated frying pan and fry on both sides for about 30 seconds. The fire is medium. It is not necessary to overexpose the tortillas so that they do not dry out and do not burst when folded. Ready-made tortillas are immediately placed in a plastic bag.
