Cheese tortilla

A Mexican tortilla called tortilla is known and loved around the world not only as a type of delicious and nutritious bread product, but also as a characteristic symbol of Mexico. And in general, it is quite difficult to imagine a Mexican meal without a national tortilla, which a person has been eating for about thirty centuries. As Aztecs, these delicious tortillas were used not only as bread, but also replaced plates and spoons with them.

It is worth noting that the functionality and simplicity of the recipe have not lost their significance even today - in the modern world, the lack of time for preparing full-fledged food makes a person send a lot of not particularly useful food to his stomach. It is noteworthy that a simple cake can solve the problem, while not having a harmful effect on the body and at the same time perfectly saturating.

Tortillas are made not only from cornmeal, which is considered traditional in Mexico, but also from other products. For example, along with tortillas or wheat flour, cheese tortillas are also popular, which differ in their invariably savory and subtle taste. The industry produces ready-made cheese tortillas, which are packed in sealed bags, which contributes to the long-term storage of the product.

The main composition of factory-made cheese tortilla is as follows: prime grade wheat flour, water, vegetable fat and the flavoring additive "cheese, " which, in fact, determines the characteristic taste of the product. This food additive consists of salt, natural and identical natural aromatics, whey powder, cheese powder, flavor and flavor enhancer (sodium glutamate), dextrose, spices, vegetable fat, Ye551 and citric acid as acidity regulator.

In addition, other ingredients can be found on the packaging of cheese tortilla, including vegetable glycerin, baking soda, E 451, malic acid, preservatives (calcium propionate and potassium sorbate), thickener CMC, flour improver, dyes E110and Ye10

2. Probably, due to such an impressive list of additives, some of which do not inspire confidence at all, many culinary experts prefer to cook this delicious and natural tortilla on their own in the composition of cheese tortilla.

In fact, the process of making homemade cheese tortilla is not much different from cooking others with the type of this thin tortilla. In addition to traditional corn or wheat flour, water, salt and oil, the dough composition for such a tortilla mainly includes solid cheese, which is ground and added to other products.
