Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h 20 min

Step 1:
Prepare all the ingredients for making tortillas with meat filling.
Step 2:
Prepare the dough. We heat the water to about 30oC, as for sourdough. We drive an egg into a bowl, add salt, pour vinegar and heated water. Beat all the ingredients with a whisk.
Step 3:
We begin to introduce the flour sifted through a sieve, knead the soft dumpling dough. If necessary, add a little more flour, but do not "hammer" the dough.
Step 4:
Pour in vegetable oil and knead the dough with your hands a little more. Cover the dough with cling film or put it in a plastic bag and let it stand for 15 minutes.
Step 5:
Prepare the meat filling. Onions are cleaned, washed and cut into several parts. The finished minced meat together with onions is scrolled through a meat grinder. Add ground black pepper, salt. At this point, you can optionally add your favorite spices. Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater and also add to the minced meat. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
Step 6:
We take out the dough and knead it again. After the second kneading, the dough should become very elastic and smooth. Divide the dough into an even number of pieces, since 2 pieces will go for one cake. We take the first piece, roll it into a thin cake, spread the meat filling on it and distribute it over the entire diameter, a little short of the edges.
Step 7:
Cover the top with a second thinly rolled cake and pinch the edges tightly, releasing air. If the edges are very thick and sloppy, they can be carefully trimmed.
Step 8:
The finished tortilla is fried on both sides in a small amount of vegetable oil until an appetizing golden crust forms. In the process of frying, it is better to close the pan with a lid so that the filling is well prepared and remains juicy.

Tortillas can be considered as a separate dish, or as an addition to lunch or dinner instead of bread. They can be eaten both hot and cold. You can play with the filling and fill the tortillas with your favorite products.
