Method

Tortilla

  1. 1

    Make the Tortilla Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Knead the mixture until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

  5. 5

    Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin tortilla, about 6-8 inches in diameter.

Filling

  1. 6

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 7

    Add the sliced onion and bell pepper and sauté until they are soft, about 5 minutes.

Assemble and Cook

  1. 11

  3. 13

    Top with shredded cheese and fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  4. 14

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until the tortilla is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

  5. 15
