Mexican Quesadilla
For everyone who wants to get rid of excess weight without being on any diet, in the style of the people of Latin America, 1 ml bread is mixed with crocus paste and is unique in sharing the starch with the flour equally in the amounts, along with vegetable butter and ice water, which helps to spread thin dough with filling.
It can be stuffed with several items, whether vegetables, grains, meat, or the offerings of the sea and rivers. When you eat a loaf of crispy bread, you feel as if you are listening to samba music and watching the tango and lambada dance. This is a 40-minute recipe that is enough for two people.
Ingredients
250 grams of flour.
250 grams of cornstarch.
200 grams of very ice water.
50 grams of vegetable butter.
A teaspoon of turmeric.
A pinch of fine salt.
Steps
Prepare with a balance of all the raw materials in the quantities.
Then, using your hand, mix the ingredients together and knead it until it becomes a soft, cohesive dough.
The secret of kneading by hand instead of using an electric mixer is that the kneading of any dough absorbs any heat that the palm of the hand touches during kneading.
Its temperature will be 28 to 29 degrees Celsius, and this is the ideal temperature that almost all doughs need.
After kneading, try to remove the air from the dough by pressing some parts.
Form a straight ball as shown in the picture, cover it and leave it for 20 minutes to rest from the kneading strokes by hand.
Then, take it and roll it into the shape of a snake.
Then, cut it at 85 grams per piece.
Try to make smooth balls for each piece.
Then, try to shape the pieces into circles using our fingers first.
Then, using a rolling pin and a little starch, open a circle with a height of 1 mm.
Place it on a plate of food and cut off the excess visible from the outside of the plate with a sharp knife.
Remove the dish and remove excess.
Using anything, take the piece and put it in a plastic bag.
In this way, repeat the steps until you finish all the dough balls, then place them on something straight and flat and put them in the refrigerator.
Fill the quesadilla bread in the shape of a half-moon or fill the whole loaf, then cover it with whatever your heart desires.
Brown the stuffed bread in a frying pan or on a grill and turn it over after levelling it on the other side.
In Mexico, after it is cooked and cooked, they serve it with chilli sauce and yoghurt mixed with garlic.
