Makes 2 servings: 8 small tortillas (for tacos) or 4 medium ones (for e.g. quesadillas).
Ingredients
150 g all-purpose flour
1 tsb salt
1.5 tbsp oil/lard/butter
80 ml warm water
Preparations & Cooking
Mix everything into a dough, and let rest for around 15 minutes.
Divide into small pieces (according to the size you want). Shape each piece into a smooth, round ball.
Heat up a cast-iron pan until it’s smoking.
Take one piece of the dough, and roll it out into a round shape using a little flour to prevent sticking.
Immediately transfer to the hot pan, count 10 Mississippi’s, then flip and count 10 more Mississippi’s. Finally flip once again and count 10 more Mississippi’s.
The tortilla now should be well cooked and have brown spots on both sides.
