Ingredients
Corn flour | 150 g |
Wheat flour | 80 g |
Vegetable oil | 2 tbsp. l |
Salt | ½ tsp |
Warm water | 100-120 ml |
Boiled meat | 200-300 g |
Butter | 50 g |
Cheese | 200 g |
Step cooking
- Mix in one bowl 80 grams of wheat flour and 150 grams of cornmeal
- In a separate glass with 100-120 grams of warm water, mix the salt and oil until smooth.
- Add a glass of water, salt and oil gradually to the mixture of flour and mix in parallel. Pouring out all the water is optional. In this case, follow the consistency obtained.
- Ready dough must be kneaded until smooth without lumps and cracks. We leave the dough in a bowl under a film or a paper towel so that it fits a little.
- While the dough is coming, it's time to cook the filling. To do this, boil any meat (preferably chicken) in advance.
- Grate the cheese on a coarse grater, and cut the chicken into fibers (do not cut, but gently pinch out small pieces).
- Knead the finished dough again and divide it into 6 equal parts. The table can be covered with cling film so that the dough does not stick, instead of pouring flour on it. Using a rolling pin, we roll out the dough wrapped in a film. At this time, we heat the pan so that it glows properly. You do not need frying oil.
- To make the cakes the same, use a plate. Circle the plate with a knife, and you get a flat cake.
- Fry a cake in a hot frying pan on both sides. On the first side - until cooked, on the second after a minute of frying, you need to lay out your ingredients. We spread the cheese and chicken on one side of the tortilla, and cover it with the other side to make a real tortilla.
- Fry on both sides until the cheese inside the cake is melted. Top with a tortilla should be greased with a piece of butter.
