2 cups of wheat flour
1 tablespoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 cup of butter or margarine
1/2 cup of warm water
2 cups of wheat flour
1 tablespoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 cup of butter or margarine
1/2 cup of warm water
Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder
Add the butter or margarine to the pieces and mix well
Gradually add the warm water kneading until you get a firm and pliable dough
Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized balls, cover, and let it rest for about 30 minutes
Heat a frying pan
Open each ball of dough onto a lightly floured surface to form a thin circle
Place a tortilla in the frying pan without oil
Fry until brown spots appear (about 2 minutes)
Flip and fry until the other side appears (about another 2 minutes)
If the tortilla puffs up, press it with a cloth
Wrap the tortillas in a kitchen towel to keep them soft and warm
Make 12 tortillas
Serve with beef filling or linguiça or use for making a composed sandwich (see next recipes)
