Delicious El Salvadoran snack: stuffed homemade tortillas with queso blanco cheese, served with curtido slaw. Can use farmer's cheese or mozzarella as substitutes.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups masa harina
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup queso fresco, crumbled
Instructions:
  • Mix masa harina and water in a bowl until smooth, then knead thoroughly. Cover and let the dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into eight equal pieces and form each into a 2-inch diameter ball. Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface into a 6-inch round. Sprinkle 1/4 cup queso fresco over each round, then cover with a second tortilla and seal the edges together to enclose the cheese.
  • Preheat an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat. Add one tortilla at a time and cook until cheese is melted and tortillas are lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
