THE RECIPE WITH AT A GLANCE
This recipe is pretty easy, and can be made even easier if you prefer to buy tortillas from a grocery store. Those of you who know me also know my love for anything handmade. Of course, my rhythms have changed a lot now and I do not have that much time to for doughs from scratch. However, this dough for homemade tortillas is very easy, it is made in a very short time and does not require special skills.
As for the filling, you will just need to put the mushrooms in the oven with 2-3 ingredients, and fry the tofu a little. What may be difficult for you is the sauce. And this is not because it is difficult to prepare, but because it has some special ingredients such as black garlic and soy sauce.
Before we move on to the ingredients section, I need to make the necessary clarification. This recipe for homemade tortillas is not the authentic one. And this since to taste the authentic Mexican tortillas we must have the right flour. I did not have the right flour, nor could I find it. But I also did not want to look for it. I wanted to be able to make a thin dough, easy to prepare to accompany my mushrooms and tofu.
If you want you can keep the tortillas in the freezer for a long time. But first make sure that they do not dry out.

So if you are in the mood for Mexican nights on the balcony then get the following.
For homemade tortillas you will need: all-purpose flour, cornflour, salt, water and sunflower oil.
When it comes to filling , the options are endless. Personally, I chose to put pleurotus mushrooms and tofu. For the filling, in addition to the two basic ingredients, you will need black garlic, sugar, salt, pepper, soya sauce, fresh thyme and olive oil. While a necessary condition to enjoy to the fullest the homemade tacos is one. Have plenty of fresh coriander, spring onions, radishes and limes.
What is tofu?
Tofu is a vegan product made from soy milk. Its preparation is similar to cheese, but the main difference is that the role of milk is held by a white liquid that the soy beans produce after they have first been soaked in water.
It is very popular in many countries of the East such as Japan and China. In recent years, however, tofu has crossed the borders and can now be found in many kitchens. It is one of the most popular ingredients used by those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Can I use other mushrooms?
Personally, I love pleurotus mushrooms, however you can add your own favorite kind of mushroom. Add fresh herbs, salt and pepper and put in the oven. It may take a different baking time, keep that in mind.
