Wheat flour flatbread made with butter (Tortillas de harina con mantequilla) from Mi Cocina: Recipes and Rapture from My Kitchen in Mexico (page 46) by Rick Martinez

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Marinated beef grilled with chorizo and jalapeños served with grilled quesadillas (Carne asada); Roasted poblanos in a garlic-cream sauce (Rajas con crema)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Delicious! Cheated a little and used a pasta machine to get them thinner.

    Tasted great but I couldn't get mine to 7 inches either like the other notes

    These were fun to make and tasted good. I formed the recommended "ping-pong ball" sized balls, pressed in the tortilla press. I could not get them to 7 inches and I couldn't find my rolling pin. mine also puffed up a little so it was hard to wrap the carne asada and fillings. Next time I will use a different tortilla recipe for this application.

    A success but with some twists in the road. Issue 1: I weighed my dough as instructed (46 g each) & got 7 rather than the expected 8 (for a 1/2 recipe) - not a disaster but puzzling. Issue 2: After the rest, I struggled to roll a 7" circle - finally , my tortilla press & then a rolling pin got at least close. Issue 3: They puffed beautifully in the pan but also shrunk enough that rolling them around filling was going to be difficult. I changed my plan to a casserole and it was declared to be delicious - fluffy, soft tortillas layered between the filling & cheese. Also - I had 1 spread with peanut butter - lovely. I think my mistake was my choice of recipe here....the one on the next page has no leavener so maybe is a better choice for enchiladas.
