Tortillas

Filling

Method

Tortillas

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine corn flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.

  2. 2

    Shape the Tortillas

    Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each ball using a tortilla press or a rolling pin to form thin tortillas.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tortillas

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep warm.

Filling

  1. 4

    Cook the Beef

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

  2. 5

    Caramelize the Onion

    In the same skillet, add sliced onion. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and caramelized.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a tortilla on a plate. Add a portion of chopped beef, caramelized onions, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and top with chopped romaine lettuce. Fold the tortilla and serve warm.
