It's so much easier making tortillas with a recipe :)
These are way better than the store bought 'wrap' type wannabe tortillas they have here in NZ. These also taste like good ol' Fijian roti...(but they probably have a better recipe...this is as close as we could get). The original recipe is here, but they have too many words so here's my version.
Ingredients
3 c flour
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
1/3 c vegetable oil (we use a little more than this, it makes it better and stretchier...but not quite 1/2 a cup)
1 c warm water
Sift/mix together dry ingredients well. Then add the wet ingredients. Ta da! So much easier than the ladies explanation.
Mix mix mix, then roll knead it a little with your hands on a lightly floured board/bench. Cut it up into 16 pieces (12 is better I reckon). Roll them into little balls and let rest for 15 minutes.
Roll em out into flat tortillas and cook em up!
The cooking part will make or break whether these turn out good too...make sure its on high heat (adjust heat if that aint working for ya)...fry for only like a minute or even less for each side.
Keep an eye on it, it'll bubble up, thats when you know its time to flip depending on how brown/cooked you want it...when it starts to smell like its burning...its burning!
And then make some yummy burritos or enchiladas or whatevs you want!!!
Arrrrrrriiibaaaa!!!!
