Tortillas with Crickets

Much loved by holidaymakers and picnickers alike, tortillas with crickets are undoubtedly among the great culinary discoveries. The easy and quick to prepare tortillas are distinguished by their crispy, highly nutritious dried crickets, which combine harmoniously with the fresh vegetable filling.

INGREDIENTS FOR TORTILLAS (20 pcs) :

• 400 g wheat flour;
• 50 g cricket flour;
• 1 tsp salt;
• 0,5 tsp baking powder;
• 70 g  olive oil;
• 180 ml warm water.

PREPARATION:

Mix the wheat and crickets flour with the salt and baking powder, add the oil and stir. Then pour in the water and gradually knead, stirring, until smooth. Form the dough into small balls (20-30 g), cover with a damp kitchen towel and leave to stand for about 20 minutes.

Roll each ball as thin as possible, turning it over and over. Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. Place the rolled dough in the pan and bake both sides for 15-20 seconds. As soon as you see bubbles rising in the dough, flip the other side. After baking, cover the scones well with a kitchen towel, otherwise they may dry out and harden quickly.
