Flour Tortillas

Cultural Context

Flour tortillas are a staple in Mexican cuisine, particularly in the northern regions where wheat is more prevalent than corn. They are versatile and can be used for tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. The technique of making tortillas has been passed down through generations, reflecting the rich culinary traditions of Mexico.

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

Olive oil is healthier due to its unsaturated fats, while vegetable shortening is often cheaper.

1

In a bowl, combine 150 grams of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

2

Add 1 tablespoon of ghee and mix well.

3

Gradually add warm water to form a soft and smooth dough, similar to dough for making roti.

4

Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.

5

Divide the dough into three equal portions and shape them into balls.

6

Sprinkle some flour on the surface to prevent sticking.

7

Roll each ball into a thin circle, ensuring they are very thin.

8

Heat a skillet on medium to medium-low heat.

9

Cook each tortilla until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip it over.

10

Ensure the tortillas are cooked thoroughly but not dried out.
