Do you like tortilla chips? Prepare it at home!

This dish is a recognizable part of Mexican cuisine and basically very simple food, quick and easy to prepare with almost unlimited possibilities. Tortilla chips come from the city of Piedras Negras in Mexico. One day in 1943, several wives of American soldiers arrived at a gentleman's restaurant, and as it was already the end of the working day, they asked for something to be prepared for them that was simple and quick to finish. The owner, Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, didn't have enough ingredients to prepare a particular dish. He only had a few tortillas, some grated cheese, and Jalapeño peppers. In an instant, he came up with a recipe: he cut tortillas into triangles, made tortilla chips, sprinkled grated cheese and some peppers and put them all together in the oven for a few minutes. He got a new dish - nachos. The women were delighted with this new snack, and very quickly the recipe spread throughout America.  Today, February 24, tortilla chips are celebrating their day, so we bring you a recipe. Preparation is quick and easy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornflour
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • Half a bag of baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • Two teaspoons: sesame, flaxseed, and sunflower seeds
  • Spoon of olive oil
  • lukewarm water
  • A little salt

Preparation:

Knead the dough from flour, seeds, water. The next step is to divide the mixture into balls and let it rise for half an hour.  Roll out the balls on baking paper to get a thin base. Cut small triangles and then bake them at 150 degrees for about 30 minutes. You will know that they are ready by smell, and then by color (they will be slightly red) and they will be dry. Take it out of the oven, let it cool down a bit, break it and enjoy this healthy snack that you will be happy to prepare.  Make a yogurt and garlic sauce, tomato sauce, or the most famous Mexican sauce - guacamole, and enjoy!
