The other day I ran out of bread at home. I cannot eat without bread, I told myself. So, I made some tortillas. They are surprisingly easy and taste better than store bought. The bread is soft and pliable. I topped it with ground meat, cilantro, onions, tomatoes and taco sauce. You can also eat these with scrambled eggs or any filling that you like.
Tortillas
2 cups of flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 – 3/4 cup of milk
Mix all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well. Knead for 5 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Cover dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes. Pre-heat an iron griddle on medium to high heat. Then divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll out on to a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. The best size to aim for is a 5-6 inch circle. Cook 1 – 1½ minutes on each side until lightly browned. Enjoy!
