Ingredients:

• 1 cup – whole-wheat flour
• 1 cup – all-purpose flour (this is important if you want a flaky, crispy tortilla. An all-wheat tortilla will be tasty but will be soft and not quesadilla-like)

• 10 – Mint leaves
• 1 – jalapeno or other fairly hot green pepper
• water for kneading
• salt to taste

• salt to taste

Method:

  1. Place the flours and salt in a bowl.

  3. Use water if needed to keep the blender blades running.
  4. Make an indent in the flour and pour in the avocado puree.
  5. Knead it in with your fingers.
  6. Add more water if needed to get a smooth dough.
  7. Place it in an airtight box and set it aside for at least half an hour.

  11. Stir well and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the juice from the tomatoes evaporates completely.
