Cooking with Danger: Tortillas
🕑 Added 2023-04-20 15:00:04 +0000 UTCIngredients
2 cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2/3 cup (158 mL) very warm water
5 tablespoons neutral flavored oil, melted shortening, melted lard or melted butter
Directions
Add the salt to the warm water and stir together until the salt has dissolved.
In a large bowl, use a fork to combine the flour with the oil (or other fat) until it looks crumbly. Pour in almost all of the salty water and stir until a shaggy dough forms. If the mixture seems dry, add a bit more of the water.
When the dough comes together, transfer to a floured work surface and knead until smooth, two to three minutes. Cover with a clean dish cloth and leave for at least 15 minutes and up to an hour or two. Resting the dough makes rolling it out easier.
Divide the dough into ten equally sized blobs and then shape into small disks. Use a rolling pin to roll each small disc into approximately 8-inch rounds. The thinner the better, here.
Stack the rolled tortillas with a piece of parchment paper between them. Alternatively, you can roll and cook the tortillas at the same time. Roll one tortilla out, then while it cooks, roll the next tortilla out.
Heat a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, add the first tortilla. Within 20 to 30 seconds, you should start to see it puffing up with bubbles forming.
When the bottom of the tortilla has some brown spots, flip it and cook until the second side is browned in spots and the tortilla looks dry around the edges. Each tortilla will take 1 to 2 minutes to cook. If this is taking a long time, increase the heat. If the pan starts to smoke or brown the tortillas too quickly, turn the heat down a bit.
Transfer the cooked tortilla to a dish towel and cover it then continue with the remaining tortillas, adjusting the heat as needed.
Store leftover tortillas in a resealable plastic bag for a day or two or freeze if needing to store longer.
The recipe that I used comes from this site, but I figured I'd sum it up here so you don't have to click through unless you wanna: https://www.inspiredtaste.net/48394/flour-tortillas/
