STUFFED ROLLED TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Spread about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the filling on each of the tortillas, then dot the filling with 2 tablespoons of the ricotta. Roll up the tortillas into tight cylinders.
• Spread 3/4 cup of the spaghetti sauce over the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold the tortillas in a single layer.Set the tortills, seam side down, on the sauce. Spread the remaining sauce over the tortillas and top with the shredded cheese. Bake until the filling is hot and the cheese has melted, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare the garnishes. Serve the tortillas hot and pass the garnishes.

TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, vegetable oil and salt in a bowl. Pour over 150ml warm water and knead to bring the mixture together. Remove from the bowl and knead on a lightly floured work surface for around 5 mins until you make a soft, smooth ball of dough. Cover with a clean tea towel and rest for at least 15 mins before rolling out.
• Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces (about 75g each). Roll out each ball of dough as thinly as possible on a floured work surface. They should make rounds about 20 cm wide, 2mm thick.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas for 1-2 mins on each side until golden brown and toasted. Wrap them in foil and cover in a tea towel to keep warm, while you cook the rest. Keeps for two days well wrapped, or cool, wrap and freeze for up to three months.

STUFFED AND FRIED FLOUR TORTILLAS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the tomato sauce and keep warm. Then, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the meat, and cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, about 3 minutes. Add the salsa, raisins, oregano, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is nearly dry, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set the picadillo aside. 2. In a large dry skillet, soften the tortillas, 1 at a time, over medium heat, turning once or twice until soft and warm, about 1 minute total for each tortilla. Stack and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm. (Or microwave the tortillas, wrapped in damp paper towels, about 1 minute on high.) 3. Preheat the oven to 200°. Put 1 warm tortilla on a plate. Put about 3 tablespoons filling in the center. Fold the bottom up over the filling, fold in the sides, and fold the top down, overlapping, envelope style. Secure with toothpicks, and put on a tray. Repeat with remaining tortillas. 4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the filled tortillas, 2 at a time, folded side down, and fry until golden brown on the bottom, about 45 seconds. Turn and brown the second side, 30 to 40 seconds. Place on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while frying remaining chimichangas. To serve, put the chimichangas on individual plates, ladle the warm tomato sauce on top, add a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve at once. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
