- 2 cups Masa Harina
- 1 1/3 cups of water
- 2 TBS pork lard or vegetable shortening or cooking oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup Refried Bayo Beans
- 1 cup Salsa Verde
- 1.5 cups Mexican Chorizo
- 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
DIRECTIONS:
- Prepare the masa by mixing the Maseca with water and salt.
If dough feels dry, add water in teaspoon increments until you get a soft and smooth dough. Cover with a cloth to avoid drying. - Take a portion of the masa and make a small ball. Press each ball of dough with your hands to form small thick patties. Cook on a skillet on both sides.
- Immediately after cooking, press around the edges with your fingertips to form a small plate.
- Spread beans and add salsa, chorizo and garnish with the cheese. (Click here for the recipe for the Mexican Chorizo)

Buen provecho!
