Texas Flour Tortillas
Ingredients:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
3/4 cups of warm milk
Method:
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and oil.
- Slowly add the warm milk.
- Stir until a loose, sticky ball is formed.
- Knead for two minutes on a floured surface. Dough should be firm and soft.
- Place dough in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap for 20 minutes.
- After the dough has rested, break off eight sections, roll them into balls in your hands, place on a plate and then cover balls with damp cloth for 10 minutes.
- After dough has rested, one at a time place a dough ball on a floured surface, pat it out into a four-inch circle, and then roll with a rolling pin from the center until it’s thin and about 20cm in diameter.
- Don’t over work the dough, or it’ll be stiff. Keep rolled-out tortillas covered until ready to cook.
- In a dry hot pan, cook the tortilla about thirty seconds on each side. It should start to puff a bit when it’s done.
- Keep cooked tortillas covered wrapped in a napkin until ready to eat.
- Can be reheated on a hot pan or toaster, wrapped in foil.
- Makes 6 tortillas. Left overs can be kept in ziplock bags.
So since I already did the tortilla skin, I prepared the fillings as well. I love chicken. So I marinated the chicken as how I normally would. I don't know how much of the ingredients cos I just grab it and put it in.
Fillings
Ingredients:
Boneless chicken fillet
Chopped garlic
Oyster sauce
Honey
Chili powder
Curry powder
Salt
Method:
- Place all the ingredients in a bowl.
- Mix them all together.
- Taste it. If you think it's ok, proceed.
- Place inside a ziplock bag and place it inside the fridge.
- Let it rest for at least 3 hours. The longer, the better.
- When it's time to use it, pan fry the chicken fillet until golden brown on each side.
- Heat up the tortilla in the toaster.
- Dice the tomatoes.
- Wash the lettuce.
- Cut the cucumber into strips.
- Spread a bit of mayonaise on the tortilla skin. Then, place the lettuce, followed by the cucumber strips, chicken fillet, and lastly diced tomatoes.
- Roll it up.
- Place it in the toaster again, around 5 minutes.
- And it's ready to eat!!!
- You can skip the vegetables if you don't like them.
I'm making this for my father's and brother's breakfast tomorrow. Hopefully I'll wake up in time. Haha.
Cheers.
