SLC26-W1 | Tequeños
It is another season of learning challenge new opportunities are open for skills. This week I have really learnt so much and it is my first time trying the Venezuelan snack, Tequeños out and I would say that it was worth the challenge.
After reading the history and understanding the lessons, I proceeded to buying my ingredients from the market and I carried out my practical successfully.
| Ingredients | quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose wheat flour | 1 cup |
| Margarine | 1 teaspoon |
| Sugar | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Cold water | ½ cup |
| Chocolate | 5 bars (for filling) |
I added the flour to a container and make a volcano as seen
I added salt to it
I added sugar then mixed it together
I added butter then mixed it using finger.
I mixed it until it forms kind of sand as seen in the image, then gradually, I added cold water little by little and knead.
I knead till the dough was well compacted after 3mins. Then I placed the dough in a bag, flatten it, and refrigerate for about 2 or 3 hours.
I flattened the dough after removing from the fridge then cut it into strips taking into consideration the thickness and the width.
I cut the chocolate which I will use in filling into a shape I will be able to wrap with.

The steps I took in wrapping my dough on the chocolate, I make sure it covers it well, the dough wrapped firmly on it so it won't separate while dip in oil frying.
So once all the tequeños are ready, I proceeded to fry them.

When you tried tequeños, what was your experience like? Did you like them? Explain your answer in detail.
It was my very first time though so at first I was nervous how it going to turn out. But I decided to challenge myself and see how I can do it.
My experience doing it was one of its kind basically I like trying new things so I was very eager to see the outcome of it no matter how it will taste.
But to my surprise I so much love it, the chocolate filling oh my God! Was really nice in fact I will never fry it though without filling it.
I later made it for my family and they love it so much everybody ate it to satisfaction.

It was nice
What sauce would you serve with your tequeños?
Avocado bassed sauce can go really well with it because of it creamy texture and the flavour from garlic which will blend the taste of the tequeños.
Besides the filling you used for your tequeños, what other filling would you like to use or have you tried? Tell us.
Well it is my first time of making it so I have never tried any other filling and I wouldn't know how other feeling will look like but I really feel that using cheese as fillings will make it really nice.
The reason I say so is that cheese is already a very nice ingredient and when you use it as filling it always turn out very nice I feel it will be nice when used.
