    Flour tortillas

    I love Mexican food a lot. I am going do many authentic dishes from mexico throughout this week.So please check it. Today I am gonna post three basic recipes of mexico,they are Tortillas , Salsa and Refried beans. These are the important dishes in their cuisine and it is basic for so many Mexican dishes. Tortilla is a mexican flat bread which is their staple.. You can find this in every grocery store. But this is so easy to make from scratch and also you can store this fridge or freezer for  a long period of time. 

     

    Ingredients for Flour Tortillas

    All Purpose Flour

    Salt

    Baking powder

    Oil

    Boiling water

    How to Make Tortilla at Home

    • In a mixing bowl add flour,salt,baking powder and oil...Rub this together with your hands till mixed well.
    • Pour boiling water in this and using a wooden spoon mix together till it forms a dough..
    • Cover this with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 min.
    • After 30 min divide this into equal size balls and start rolling into a thin roti.
    • Heat a pan to the highest heat..The pan should be so hot before putting the tortilla in it.
    • Put the tortilla in the hot pan and cook for 30 sec.Turn it over and press it with a spatula..The tortilla will puff like a balloon.Remove this and put it in a plate.
    • Do exactly same with the rest of the dough..
    • You could enjoy right away or store in fridge and use within 2-3 days(you could freeze this upto a month).

      @shwetha shenoyif you are keeping it in fridge,Put it in air tight container and use, For freezing lay the tortilla between parchment sheets and put it in a ziploc bag and freeze. You can reheat it it microwave or on tawa

      Cool recipe. Do you watch "Bizarre foods on Discovery Tamil?. Please watch it. You'll love it. ( I m a translator working for D Tamil. Most of the times I'm reminded of you, when I come across certain recipes.
