When you have fried the potato, fry the onion.

Place the potato and fried onion in a strainer to release excess oil, add salt and mix.

In a blender glass, add the chickpea flour, cassava starch, a salt wedge, water, and beer. Beat until ingredients are well mixed.

In a bowl, pour the mixture over the potatoes and onion and stir lightly with a fork.

Heat the frying pan where you will make the tortilla. When it is hot, paint with a little oil (including the edges).

Add to the frying pan the tortilla mixture you have in the bowl and chafe a little so that it is well distributed. Raise the heat for one minute so that the base is roasted. Then lower the heat and let the tortilla cook covered for 5 minutes. After that time, turn the tortilla over, raise the heat for one and a half minutes and let it cook covered over low heat for 3-5 minutes more.

When it is done, take the tortilla out of the frying pan and serve immediately.
