1

Introduce the concept of 50/50 tortillas and the use of Sonora wheat flour.

2

Add the pre-measured baking powder and salt to the tortilla mix.

3

Incorporate warm water gradually until the right consistency is achieved, being mindful of gluten development.

4

Knead the dough on a table until mixed evenly.

5

Separate the dough into portions for about 20 tortillas, rolling them into small balls.

6

Cover the dough balls with a damp kitchen towel and let them rest for 30 minutes.

Use a tortilla press with plastic liners to press out the tortillas instead of rolling them.

8

Set the heat to medium and cook each tortilla for about 20 seconds per side, then until a nice char develops.

9

Remove the tortillas from the heat and store them in a tortilla warmer or kitchen towel to steam and maintain elasticity.

10

Assemble the breakfast tacos with soft scrambled eggs, chorizo, and coffee salsa matcha.
