2. Store the Seasoning: Let the seasoning cool and store it in an airtight container in a dry, cool place, such as a kitchen cabinet.

How to Make Taco Tortillas:

Here's how to make delicious taco tortillas, which can be served at breakfast, as main meals, or even as desserts with tea or coffee.

Ingredients for Taco Tortillas:

• 150 grams of corn flour

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup lukewarm water

• 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Instructions for Taco Tortillas:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix the corn flour, salt, and cooking oil. Add lukewarm water and mix until you have a smooth dough. (You can also use lavash bread for this purpose.)

2. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes until it is soft, then place it in a plastic bag and let it rest for 1 hour.

3. Shape the Tortillas: Divide the dough into small balls. Sprinkle flour on a flat surface and roll out the balls into thin circles using a rolling pin.

4. Cook the Tortillas: Fry the dough circles in oil. Midway through frying, fold the tortillas in half and hold them in that shape to create a U shape, making them ready to be filled with taco ingredients.

Differences Between Tacos and Burritos:

• Tacos are an ancient food, while burritos are a relatively new addition to Mexico.

• Burritos are considered a complete meal, while you might need at least four tacos to feel satisfied.

• Tacos are made with corn tortillas, while burritos use wheat tortillas.

• Tacos are usually filled with fewer ingredients and garnished with sour cream, salsa, and other sauces, while burritos are more substantial, filled with rice, beans, cheese, meat, and vegetables.
