Tortilla, a name given by the Spaniards to the unleavened flat bread they found in Mexico round 16th century. The word “Tortilla” comes from the Spanish word “torta” which means round cake. Tortillas are an important part of the diet in South American countries. They are used in sandwich and so on. But this was my first attempt towards tortilla and it came out well. Tortilla fillings include guacamole, grated cheese, tomato salsa, chopped raw onions and so on… Once prepared you can store the rest in a zip bag or air-tight container in a refrigerator and use when by re-heating it whenever you need. So it will be an easy mode of food for busy people. Let us move on to the recipe…
