BEANIE TORTILLAS
Marcel Boulestin
We’re going off to a beautiful little hamlet in the Himalayas, called Ramgarh, for a couple of days but this is a post that I’m rushing to put on this post on tortillas. More so, for my friend Ben from What’s Cooking US our monthly Homemade challenge. This month we are making tortillas.
You can use whichever vegetable you like in the stuffing. I used a mix of sliced bell pepper (red,yellow & green), onion & sweetcorn, all tossed in a little olive oil, & roasted for 15 minutes in a hot oven.
TORTILLAS1 1/4 cup plain flour
1/2cup wholewheat
1 1/2t baking powder
1t salt
2T oil
Method:
-
Sift the flours with the baking powder and salt.
-
Add the oil & mix through with fingertips. Add enough water & knead to a pliable smooth dough,knead well. Cover & leave to rest for about an hour.
-
Make small walnut sized balls of dough & roll out as thin as possible. That is usually the trick for a good tortilla.
-
Put on a hot griddle, cook for 2-3 minutes, till small bubbles appear. Turn 7 cook the other side for a further 2 minutes.
-
Take off & keep warm.
Filling
Ingredients:
250gms cannelini beans soaked overnight
4 cloves garlic
2-3 bay leaves
Salt to taste
1 small bunch fresh coriander; chopped
2-3 green chillies; chopped
1 small onion; chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Pressure cook the beans with the salt, bay leaves & garlic for 20-25 minutes till soft.

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

I have never made tortillas but want to give them a go. There is this little place in Boston called Anna’s Taqueria that had the most amazing tortillas. Now back in Australia, I miss them terribly. I may try to recreate them with your recipe. THANKS!

Deeba, I adore these quesadillas because overall in my case I’ve them with some type of meat but a vegan version is so interesting and tantalizing 🙂
A Mex meal in India wow fusion cuisine everywhere!

those tortillas look fantastic – and I loved that your kids thought it was mince and loved the beans unknowingly – I hope one day they will be as excited when they know the ingredients – but for now just enjoying the taste is enough!
Arwen from Hoglet K
It’s cool that you made your own tortillas, and I love the way you managed to make lentils look like mince. Have a good trip North.
