Ingredients
1 pound of Cooked beans
4 cups of Wheat flour
4 Spoons of oil or margarine
2 ½ teaspoons of Baking powder
1 teaspoon of Salt
½ Lukewarm milk
Preparation
Step 1 : In a bowl, combine all ingredients, mixing everything except the milk.
Step 2 : Gradually add the milk while kneading the flour until you get a dough that doesn't stick to your hands, ensuring it remains smooth.
Step 3 : Next, shape the dough into a long cylinder and divide it into balls of the desired size, whether for palm-sized tortillas or golf ball-sized.
Step 4 : Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5 : Heat a griddle on the stove and roll out the dough with a rolling pin to make tortillas.
Step 6 : Cook on the griddle for about 2 minutes on one side, flip, and cook for another minute over medium heat.
Step 7 : A good tortilla, whether corn or flour, will puff up while cooking.
Step 8 : Once the tortillas are ready, add the beans as a filling.
