- Divide into 5 equal pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a circle around 22cm/9 inch in diameter.
- Heat a frying pan (no oil) until hot - this will take 4-5 minutes. Cook each tortilla for 2 minutes each side.
Notes
- The cook time is for one tortilla wrap. Cooking a larger amount will increase the cooking time, unless you have multiple pans heating simultaneously.
- You need to use a really heavy based pan for this recipe.
- The pan needs to be very very hot for these to cook. Heat your pan for a good 4 minutes before you add a tortilla to it. This will help it to puff up and give it those bubbles.
- If you have a gas stove and want to give it a proper charred look, then hold each side of the tortilla over a flame for 30 seconds.
