2020 - May 26 - Homemade tortillas

Tuesday 26 May 2020

It is freeeeezing in Joburg!!!  The mountains in Free State and Cape are white from the snow.  It was just too cold to walk this morning, so I left it for 4pm.  Walked 2 km around the house.

On Facebook someone posted a photo of a tortilla filled with veg & mushrooms.  I had the veg and mushrooms .... looked up the recipe for tortillas and dinner was served.  Interesting how the recipes of roti, naan and tortilla are all basically the same ... these tortillas were really nice!

Homemade Tortillas


2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup water
3 tablespoons oil

In food processor with dough hook, add the flour and salt.  Blitz few times.  Add the water and oil and process till it forms a ball.  Let it whip around for a few more times (mimicking kneading process).  Let it rest for 10 minutes.  Divide into 8 balls.  Onto floured surface, roll out each ball to a thin circle.  Heat a large non-stick skillet on stove, spray with Spray & Cook, put tortilla in and heat till bubbles form on bottom and it turns brown, flip.

I made sure that my after-dinner drink was Rooibos Cappuccino ... I had a lovely night's rest.
