Tortillas, the Mexican recipe – Italian Cuisine


Today aperitif with tortillas, crunchy corn triangles (and for a Mexican trio, also include spicy sauce and Margarita)To prepare tortillas, mix the three flours and salt in a bowl. Heat about 250 g of water (it may take a little longer, depending on how much the flours you use absorb), bringing it almost to a boil.
Pour the water little by little, on the flours, mixing with a spatula until completely absorbed. You will need to obtain a homogeneous, soft and slightly sticky compound. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
Draw out then portions of about 50 g. Roll them out one at a time between two sheets of baking paper, with a rolling pin, obtaining 3-4 mm thick discs. Remove the first sheet of parchment paper, turn the disc over on a plate covered with parchment paper, then remove the other sheet.
Brush discs with oil and cut them into 6 triangles. Sprinkle them with yellow cornmeal and bake at 200 ° C for 12-13 minutes, until they are crispy.

Store and accompany: these tortilla chips, once cooked, last for several days, well closed in airtight containers and stored in a dry environment; you can therefore also prepare them in large quantities and serve them each time with a different sauce. The most suitable are those based on tomato, yogurt, soft cheeses, avocado. For the classic, slightly spicy one, season the chopped tomato pulp with extra virgin olive oil, salt, very finely chopped onion, a drop of vinegar, Worcester sauce and Tabasco to taste.

Those Other Tortillas

I know we’ve done flour tortillas on the blog, but I’ve not yet attempted the far more intimidating corn version. Why do they scare me so? I’m not sure, but it’s a real problem. Anyway, one of these days I’ll muster up the courage to give it a go, but in the meantime, here’s a demo from my buddies at Allrecipes.com showing the basic method. Can it really be this easy? Enjoy!

Breakfast Tostada with Guacamole, Black Beans, and Poached Egg

Breakfast Tostada with Guacamole, Black Beans, and Poached Egg

by Pam on October 3, 2012

All of my favorite ingredients in one dish!  I had leftover taco fixings in the refrigerator so I decided to use them to make a tostada for breakfast.  I topped a crispy corn tortilla shell with homemade guacamole[1], black beans, tomatoes, cotija cheese, poached egg, and green onions.  I served these tostadas with homemade salsa[2] for a perfectly delicious breakfast.  My husband and I loved these tostadas and gobbled them up in seconds.

Heat a skillet that has been coated with cooking spray over medium heat then place the corn tortillas in it.  Cook the tortillas for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

While the tortillas are cooking, prepare the poached eggs.  Add water to a pan, filling it two thirds full; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Coat two poaching cups (or custard cups) with cooking spray then place in the water. Break the eggs into each cup then cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-6 minutes or until the whites are firm but the yolk is soft.

Layer the crisp tortilla with guacamole[3], warmed black beans, diced tomato, and cotija cheese.  Place the poached egg on top then sprinkle with green onions and season with salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.  Serve immediately with a side of fresh salsa[4].  Enjoy.
