Instructions
TORTILLAS
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and mix through with your hand until it is not sticking to your hand
Cover with a cloth and set aside to rest from about 3 minutes to 1 hour
Add a little flour to a working space, remove dough, divide the dough to make 20 little balls the size of golf balls
Roll out and place on a plate, make sure you do not add to much flour to the surface as to prevent tortillas to be too dry.
If you don’t have a pizza stone you can use a skillet on high heat
Bake the tortillas for 2 minutes on each side, when bubbles appear, turn over, when the sides lift, it’s ready
When using a pizza stone in the oven, preheat the oven to 220 °C for 30 to 45 minutes ahead of starting the tortillas
Place one tortilla at a time on the stone, when bubbles appear, turn over, when the sides lift, it’s ready
BASIC SALSA
Place ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix, be careful not to puree
PICKLED ONION
Combine all the ingredients, cover and set aside
Drain off the vinegar before serving
