Burritos is an easy and delicious way to get vegetables, meat and bread. So when I fell over a recipe for homemade tortillas, I threw it over with a friend. The tortillas, however, became somewhat smaller and more chubby than we had thought. So instead of making a rolled burrito that you would normally do, it turned into small, cute and tasty open burritos … we also forgot to add grated cheese.
OPEN BURRITO
4-8 SERVINGS.
CHUBBY TORTILLAS:
260 G FLOUR
2 TSP. OIL
½ TSP. BAKING POWDER
1 TSP. SALT
2 DL. HOT MILK
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and oil, add milk little at a time until it is mixed into a sticky dough.
Knead the dough on a floured table, until soft and firm.
Let the dough rest under a damp cloth for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll them into balls.
Let them rest under the cloth for another 10 minutes.
Roll out the balls into thin pancakes and cook them on a dry pan at high heat for 30 seconds on each side until the dough is baked through.
Keep a constant eye on them, as they can quickly burn at the high heat, to remedy this, you can flip them once in a while
