Recipe Tortas Fritas

Recipe for 15-20 TortasFritas accompanied by Chilean Pebre: Ingredientsfor the tortas: 1 Kilo of flour without baking powder 1 T dry yeast Salt 1 Liter of vegetable oil or a small packet of lard Warm Water Ingredients for the pebre: 3 or 4 mediumtomatoes 1 bunch of fresh cilantro 1 bunch of chives or 1 medium onion 2 cloves of garlic 1 lemon 1 green chili White vinegar Vegetable Oil Cold Water Salt Preparation First the pebre. Peel the tomatoes, remove the seeds and finely dice, then add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil, a teaspoon of white vinegar, the juice of one lemon, two cloves of garlic, finely chopped, half a cup of chopped cilantro, half a cup of finely chopped onion or chives and a mined green chile. Add ¾ cup of cold water and salt to taste. Let the pebre sit for one hour to allow the flavors to mingle. Now for the Tortas. Make the dough by dissolving a tablespoon of yeast in 1/3 cup of lukewarm water. Mix 1 ½ cups of flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of salt and 1/2 cup of melted lard or vegetable oil. Mix until a dough is formed. If necessary, add a few tablespoons of water until the dough is homogeneous. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it is no longer sticky and springs back when pressed with a finger. Form a ball and sprinkle with flour. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a clean and slightly dampdishcloth. Let the dough rise in a heated area for about 45 minutes. There are several ways to shape your TortasFritas. One option is to roll out the dough to a thickness of approximately 2-3 centimeters. Use a round cutter or a glass, cut out small circles. Make a hole in the center of each circle with your finger. Pour enough oil in a deep fryer to cover the tortas and heat until it starts to sizzle when you sprinkle in a drop of water. Fry the Tortas in the oil in small batches until browned on both sides, requiring you to turn them at least once. Drain excess oil by allowing them to rest on a paper towel before serving withpebre or other delicious accompaniments.
