An ideal Saturday to prepare some whole wheat fajitas or burritos! Also known as flour tortillas.
A meal that is excellent when combining different flavors and tastes. Having the possibility of making different fillings or using the ingredients that are available at home.
These whole wheat flour tortillas are usually found in any supermarket and now they are available in whole wheat too. Although it is convenient to make them homemade for different reasons. One of them is that it will be much cheaper. In addition we make sure that it is free of any preservative, additives and that it is 100% whole grain.
Another advantage of making them homemade is that one can choose the size of the tortillas depending on the use that will be given. If you want for tacos about 40 grams of dough, fajitas 60 grams and burritos 100 grams.
In its preparation it is a very simple dough to make, it requires few ingredients, it is easy and quick to make. And cooking even more. Between 2 to 5 minutes it will be ready to assemble with the chosen filling.
It is a dough that is neither dry nor sticky. The amount of liquid is just enough so that they remain with the particular texture of the well-known flour tortillas.
Therefore, when you finish preparing the tortilla dough, what is convenient is to divide it into equal parts, form buns with the dough and place them in a dish covered by a plastic kitchen film.
Let the buns rest for at least an hour. If it is from one day to the next much better. In this way they make the dough relax and make it easier to roll it out and give it the characteristic shape of flour tortillas.
Cooking is done in a very hot pan and takes a few minutes. You should not overcook as they will be tough and brittle. And what we want as a result is a malleable tortilla, which you can fold, does not break or break.
To store, they are placed hot, stacking the tortillas on top of each other. In a plastic suitable food bag. Thus they retain their moisture and will not dry out. It is also a good idea to freeze and have it available when needed.
With this whole wheat tortillas recipe I prepared some chicken fajitas as a base and also different accompaniments such as sautéed beans, diced tomatoes and lettuce.
I hope you enjoy cooking deliciously, as healthy as possible and saving as much as possible.
