Tortilla Wrap & Tortilla Chips

Following guacamole post last week, it is time for homemade tortilla chips.
In order to make tortilla chips, first we have to prepare tortilla wrap. 

So let's begin:) 

Tortilla Warp
Serve: 8

Ingredients:
250 g all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
150 ml water (about ⅔ cup)
3 tbsp vegetable oil or butter

Methods:
 1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl (flour, baking powder and salt).

 2. Add vegetable oil and mix well.

 3. Add hot water and mix with fork, until it is warm enough to handle with bare hand. 

 4. Dust kneading board and rolling pin with flour to make it easier to knead and to roll 
     out the dough.

 5. Knead the dough for about 3 minutes until it becomes soft and loses its stickiness.

 6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or tea towel and let the dough rest for about 30 
     minutes.

 7. After 30 minutes take out the plastic wrap and cut the dough into 8 pieces.

 8. Roll each piece of dough into a ball.

 9. With a rolling pin,  flatten a dough ball then roll out it to form about 20 cm disks.
      * To keep the dough disks from drying out, cover them with tea towel.

10. Heat a non stick pan to a high heat. Drop the dough disk onto the pan.
     * Don´t grease the pan with oil 

11. If the dough disk starts to bubble up, at this point you should turn it over then cook it 
     for another 30-40 seconds. Lift the edges to check the bottom. If it starts to develop 
     the brown spots then turn it over again until the bottom side has the brown spots as 
     well.
      * The cooking time takes about 1 to 2 minutes for each side of tortilla.

12. Wrap the tortilla in a kitchen towel to keep it warm, while you cook the remaining 
      tortillas.
      * You can store your leftover tortillas or tortillas dough in the fridge. Put them in a 
        zip-lock plastic bag or airtight storage.  They will last for 3 days in the fridge.

Now we can prepare tortilla chips :)
