Homemade tortilla - 10 cooking recipes

The main pride of the Mexican people is tortilla - a crispy thin flatbread made from wheat or corn flour. It is baked in a clay pan called a comal. The baked goods should be eaten immediately as they harden very quickly. The dough is difficult to roll out, so Mexicans use a special press for this purpose. The advantage of the flatbread is its versatility.

It can act as an independent dish, served instead of bread, be the basis for dishes such as burritos, tacos, nachos, and used for pizza, rolls, and sandwiches. Mexicans often use tortillas as an alternative to a fork, spoon or knife, using it to scoop up sauce or hold meat, and at the end of the meal the “cutlery” is eaten. Recipes for homemade tortillas with various fillings, both salty and sweet, are amazing in variety. You can prepare it with beans and goat cheese, chicken and vegetables, mushrooms and herbs, pork and boiled eggs, strawberries and bananas.
