HOMEMADE FLAVORED TORTILLAS ( ROASTED RED PEPPER, SPINACH ETC)



Homemade Flavored Tortillas ( Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach Etc) image

I wanted to make those flavored (over-priced) tortillas that you buy in the store. I think that I have figured it out. The secret is to use a blender or food processer to blend the vegetable or herb in with the water, and use it for the liquid. Also, when rolling out the tortillas, it's very helpful to roll them out on a lightly floured wooden board... really helps acheive the thinness of a good tortilla. I've made these with roasted red pepper from a jar and frozen spinach. Other ideas would be jalepeno, sundried tomato, garlic herb, basil, or whatever you can dream up. I hope you like them.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your tortillas the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the tortillas tough.
  • Let the dough rest before rolling it out: This will help the gluten to relax and make the tortillas more pliable.
  • Use a hot griddle: A hot griddle will help the tortillas cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the tortillas for a few minutes per side: Don't overcook the tortillas, or they will become dry and brittle.
  • Serve the tortillas warm: Tortillas are best served warm, so they can be enjoyed right away.
