TORTILLA SANTIAGUEÑA A LA SARTÉN

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is a healthier fat option.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds flavor without dairy.

chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Turkey sausage is lower in fat.

bell pepper

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: frozen mixed vegetables

Zucchini can add moisture without added cost.

Melt the beef fat in a bowl.

Add the flour and melted fat, mixing to form a sandy texture.

Gradually add the warm water with the dissolved salt to form the dough.

Let the dough rest covered for 20 minutes.

Knead the dough until it is smooth and homogeneous.

Divide the dough into equal portions; I prefer them thick, but thickness is a matter of taste.

Roll out with a rolling pin to form discs about half a centimeter thick.

Cook the discs in a skillet over low heat, preferably a non-stick skillet for better heat distribution.

Prick the dough with a fork all over.

Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, adjusting cooking time as needed based on skillet heat.

The first tortillas will be lighter, while the later ones will be more toasted as the skillet heats evenly.
