Homemade Tortilla

Homemade tortilla is the best way to eat Fajita. It's simple, easy and deliciously good. Also, a great way to stay away from starch as you use corn flour, known as Masa Harina, available in many supermarkets. I get to enjoy my fajita without the starch found in most pre-made tortilla. (you can find some pre-made made of corn)

 

* Note it isn't categorized as Gluten Free but for any gluten intolerant like myself, it works well! 

How it works

5-6 tortilla 

Total time approx 15 minutes

What you need

1 cup flour (I purchased Su Sabor from C&T Market for less than $3.00 see image)

1 cup or water or milk

Tortilla press preferably or rolling pin

Vegetable oil 

Non stick pan

1. In a bowl, mix flour and water and knead. Let stand for 3-5 minutes.

2. Using a tortilla press, place  a ball of dough the size of a gold ball, between 2 sheets of saran wrap or wax paper, on the tortilla press and gently press down. You can make them thick or thin, larger or smaller, play around with the size of your dough to get the result you want. 

3. Place them on a wooden board, not stacked. Prepare your non stick pan, high-med heat and drizzle vegetable oil. Place one tortilla at a time once oil is hot and fry 1 minute or so each side. Set your over at 250-300 degrees f to keep them warm while completing the others. Place on a plate, in the oven and continue till done. NOTE: Add vegetable oil between each tortilla as it needs oil to fry properly, add a little at a time. 

Make sure to get your tortilla breads fried up at the end, to keep the crunchy texture. Prepare everything beforehand and leave this task till the end!

Stuff and enjoy! See Duck Fajita recipe or Chili con Carne Fajita recipe to complete the taste!
