Honduran flour tortillas with beans and cheese
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 4 Serving(s)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup warm milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 cups refried red small beans, warmed
- ½ cup crumbled queso seco Hondureño (can substitute cotija cheese)
- ¼ cup mantequilla Hondureña (can substitute Mexi can crema)
Preparation
Mix flour, baking powder and salt, then knead in the butter in a large bowl, then add the milk and oil; knead until dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
Form the dough into 8 golf-ball-sized balls. Cover and let rest, about 20 minutes.
Roll and stretch each ball of dough into a thick tortilla. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla until browned and lightly puffed, about 1 minute per side.
Layer refried beans and cheese over tortillas. Drizzle crema on top; fold tortillas in half over filling.
Tip: Add sliced avocado and scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast.
