Ingredients
- 4 large egg beaten
- 120 g panela cheese crumbled or any mild shredded cheese, or queso de freir
- 375 g all-purpose flour , spooned & leveled
- 12 oz 2% milk or water
- ½ cup green onion optional, finely chopped fresh
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt , adjust to taste
- 1 liter sunflower oil or vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until foamy, then add salt, flour, water, and milk.
- Whisk all the ingredients together until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
- Stir in the cheese and chopped green onions.
- Pour oil into a large frying pan to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350 degrees F.
- Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the pan. If it sizzles, the oil is ready.
- Using a small ladle, drop the mixture in 3-4 inch diameter batches into the hot oil, leaving a few inches between each.
- As soon as the tortillas float, turn them with a fork and cook until both sides are crisp and light golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Work in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure a crisp exterior.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve hot.
