HOMEMADE TORTILLAS RECIPE

       

       Tortillas are nothing but our Roti, made with all purpose flour. We can also make this with wheat flour. I have never tasted any wraps using tortillas, but I happened to taste a Quesadilla in a restaurant last month. Vj suggested to taste it and I instantly loved it. For past 2 weeks, I was craving for the quesadillas again and Vj took me to the restaurant and bought me the same on Valentines day… hehe. Then yesterday I thought why not try the same at home… I just googled for the info and successfully made today! Stay tuned for the salsa and quesadilla recipe coming up next!

      And for those who are hearing these things for first time, do not think its not our kind of recipe, stay tuned and try the recipes, you are sure going to love it! The ingredients are also pretty ‘available’ only, no fancy things!

Ingredients ( makes 5-6)

All purpose flour/ maida	3/4 cup, heaped
Wheat flour	1/4 cup, heaped
Olive oil	3 tblsp
Baking powder	1/4 tsp
Salt	As needed
Warm water	As need

Method

Mix both the flours, salt, baking powder well in a bowl. Add olive oil and rub well. Gradually add required warm water and knead to a smooth dough. You can rest the dough for 15 minutes. Divide into 5 or 6 equal sized balls. Roll into thin discs, dust when ever needed with all purpose flour. Heat a pan and toast the rolled tortillas on both sides in medium flame until slight golden dots starts to appear,also take care its evenly cooked.

         You can make these tortillas in bulk, you can even properly layer this and freeze it and use when ever we want and and make wraps or quesadillas with this.

Notes

You can add softened butter/any cooking oil in place of olive oil. You can try with wheat flour as well fully. The dough has to be smooth, not too sticky or too tight.
