Tortillas de Harina

Tortillas de Harina are soft, flour tortillas that serve as the perfect base for a delicious vegetarian breakfast. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of fresh ingredients for a wholesome start to the day.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Baking powder - 5 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Vegetable oil - 30 ml
• Water - 120 ml
• Fresh cilantro - 10 grams, chopped (optional)
• Lime - 1, for serving (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the vegetable oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
6. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
