Tricks and secrets of making tortillas with cheese and herbs in a pan
If the cakes are fried in oil, you need to pour it sparingly so that it doesn’t turn out too greasy. Spread ready-made pastries on a napkin so that excess oil is absorbed.
Tortillas in a dry pan are fried quickly, you can not let them burn, so they should be as thin as possible.
Cheese in cakes before frying should be put in moderation, and pinched well, otherwise the melted filling will run out and there will be a lot of greasy spray.
Kefir dough, if used, can be frozen for the future. And you can make ready-made cakes stuffed with cheese from it and put them in the freezer. If necessary, hold for ten minutes at room temperature and fry in oil.
Cheese cakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, especially if each is wrapped in a special film or foil. Without a refrigerator - about a day.
