Tortillas

Tortillas are a versatile and essential component of many beloved dishes, from burritos and tacos to quesadillas and wraps. Making your own tortillas from scratch allows you to enjoy the fresh, authentic flavors of homemade cuisine. In this recipe, we will guide you through the steps to create delicious homemade tortillas that are easy to prepare and perfect for a variety of culinary creations.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup Master Mix
• 1 cup flour
• Approximately ½ cup warm water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine Master Mix and Flour:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Master Mix and 1 cup of flour.
   • Mix the two ingredients together until they are well combined.
2. Add Warm Water:
   • Gradually add warm water to the mixture, stirring as you pour.
   • Continue to add water until the dough reaches a soft and pliable consistency.
3. Knead the Dough:
   • You can choose to knead the dough either in the mixing bowl or on a floured surface.
   • Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. This step is essential for developing the texture of the tortillas.
4. Form into Balls:
   • Divide the dough into 1½-inch portions and form each portion into a small ball.
   • Cover the dough balls and let them rest for 10 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten in the dough to relax, making it easier to roll out the tortillas.
5. Roll Out the Tortillas:
   • Roll each dough ball into a 6-inch circle. You can do this by using plastic wrap to prevent sticking or by rolling them out on a floured surface.
   • Ensure that the tortillas are of even thickness for even cooking.
6. Cook the Tortillas:
   • Preheat a nonstick griddle or a lightly greased fry pan to moderately hot temperature.
   • Place a tortilla on the heated surface and cook it on one side for approximately 15 seconds, or until it starts to puff up and small bubbles form.
   • Flip the tortilla and cook it on the second side until it becomes lightly browned.
   • Finally, flip it once more to brown the first side again.
7. Repeat the Process:
   • Continue this process with the remaining dough balls until you have cooked all 6 tortillas.
