How to Make Thermomix Tortillas
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
- Add all the ingredients to the Thermomix bowl.
- Mix for 5 seconds on speed 6.
- Knead for 1 minute.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and bring it into a ball.
- Cut the ball in half.
- Cut into quarters.
- Cut each quarter in half, making 8 pieces.
- Shape the individual dough pieces into a ball and press down with the palm of your hand into a disc shape. Leave to rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll each one into a rough circle shape measuring about 20cm. The dough is forgiving, so the thinner you roll it, the better; otherwise, the Tortilla will be thick and heavy. Stack the tortillas using a small piece of baking paper between them so they don't stick.
- Preheat a large non-stick frying pan on medium to high heat (no need to add oil). Cook each Tortilla for 45 seconds to 1 minute until air bubbles form on top, then flip over and cook the other side. Watching them like a hawk is crucial as they can quickly burn. Proceed with the others and keep warm on a plate covered with a tea towel.
Serving Suggestions
Here are a few ways to serve Tortillas:-
- Wraps.
- Tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, burritos and quesadillas.
- Make Tortilla chips - cut into wedges, brush with oil, then bake in the oven at 160°C until crisp.
Storage
Homemade Tortillas are best eaten fresh but can be stored in a ziplock bag in the fridge for 2-3 days.
To freeze, let the cooked Tortillas cool completely, then separate each one with some baking paper and stack on top of each other. Place into a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost either in the microwave or on a heated frying pan.
