How to prepare Tortilla stuffed with cheese

This recipe is ideal when you’re short on time and looking for something simple, but full of flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 300 g flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 5 g sea salt
  • 250 g plain Greek yogurt
  • 100 g grated mozzarella cheese (for the filling)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the dough:
    • In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
    • Add the Greek yogurt and start mixing with a spoon or spatula until the dough becomes compact.
    • Once the mixture is homogeneous, knead with your hands for about 5 minutes, until you get a smooth and elastic dough. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, but not too much.
  2. Divide the dough:
    • Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and form small balls.
    • Let the dough balls rest for 10 minutes to relax, which will make them easier to stretch.
  3. Stretch and fill:
    • Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball of dough until you get a circle about 20cm in diameter.
    • Place a portion of shredded mozzarella cheese in the middle of each circle.
    • Fold the tortilla in half and press the edges to seal it.
  4. Cooking the tortillas:
    • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
    • Place the tortillas in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
    • Repeat the process with all the tortillas.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the tortillas warm and enjoy their fluffy texture and creamy filling.

5 Tips to Perfect Your Stuffed Tortillas

  1. Choose a good Greek yogurt:
    Use a plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt, as its creaminess and acidity help the dough be soft and fluffy. If the yogurt is too runny, the batter may be sticky. If necessary, drain the excess whey.
  2. Control the amount of flour:
    The dough should be soft, but not sticky. If you notice it sticking to your hands or work surface, add flour a little at a time as you knead, but avoid overdoing it, as too much flour can harden the tortillas.
  3. Cook over medium heat:
    It is important that the pan is very hot, but not over very high heat, to prevent the tortillas from burning on the outside and being raw on the inside. Keep a medium heat and keep an eye on the cooking time.
  4. Press the edges when sealing:
    To prevent the cheese from leaking out while cooking the tortillas, press the edges well when closing them. If you want a better seal, you can slightly dampen the edges with a little water before folding.
  5. Make tortillas healthier:
    If you want a healthier version, you can use whole-grain flour or add herbs and spices to the batter, such as oregano, garlic powder, or paprika, for an extra kick of flavor.
