There are some weekends where we just decide to cook something extra-ordinary when we don't have a scheduled family brunch with my brothers and their families. Got started with going to the grocery to get ingredients for home-made tortilla.
The recipe I followed for basic tortilla:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder
1 T shortening (we used canola oil)
1/2 cup water
Mix dry ingredients in a stainless bowl followed by your shortening, then slowly add water. We tripled the recipe and sa totoo lang, didn't keep track of the oil and water that we used heheh. After mixing, we left it covered in the bowl for about 15 minutes, before we emptied a wine bottle (yup, my rolling pin decided to hide himself), that we used for rolling. Andee helped in dusting the table with flour and rolling the tortilla dough before I 'cooked' it in a heated frying pan. We made about 22 pieces of tortilla.
I cooked the ground beef as usual, parang pang-spaghetti lang, Although I also added Chili con Carne mix (McCormick's ata yun). Sometimes I use Taco Mix, other wise, you can season it with cumin, basil and Italian seasoning (Italian seasoning?!? so much for mexican flair). And as usual, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, white onions and grated cheese. We can't find sour cream, and we even forgot to make do with mayonnaise with garlic. Ok pa rin. Swak na swak!
