In a bowl, combine 1 kilogram of flour and 1 tablespoon of salt.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the flour and salt mixture.

Gradually add 400 milliliters of hot water (not boiling) to the mixture to form the dough.

Knead the dough until it is soft but not hard; it should not be tough.

The total water used may be around 550 milliliters, so add it slowly as different flours absorb water differently.

Knead the dough for a while until it reaches the right texture.

Place the dough in a bowl, cover it, and let it rest for 30 to 40 minutes.

After resting, roll out the dough to a uniform thickness.

Cut the dough into pieces, marking with fingers for equal sizes.

Make a small indentation in the center of each piece and fill with gouda cheese.

Seal the dough around the cheese to form a filled tortilla.

Roll out the filled tortilla gently to keep it round.

Heat oil in a pan until it is very hot and starts to smoke.

Fry the filled tortillas in the hot oil, making sure to poke a hole in the center to prevent the filling from leaking.

Fry until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side.

Once cooked, drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
