Tortilla Wraps Recipe

Tortilla Wraps

 

Ingredients                                  

• 500 g plain flour, sieved
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 1 pinches salt
• 100 g lard
• 120 ml warm water

Method

1. Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl, rub in the lard.

2. Add the water in a steady stream, and combine, until the mixture becomes a stiff but pliable dough.

3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. Divide the dough into 12 equal sized pieces and roll each piece out to form a 30cm circle. Cover with cling film to prevent them drying out.

5. Warm a heavy frying pan or griddle and cook each tortilla for 1 minute on each side, until the surface bubbles and has turned a light golden colour.

6. Wrap the tortillas in a clean tea towel to keep them warm and pliable until you have cooked them all and are ready to use them. Fill as desired.
