These pancake-like tortillas are from my parents’ recipe card file thanks to a roommate of theirs from university. They’re not quite like any “tortillas” I’ve had in other places, but the recipe is easy and the resulting patties are tasty with any common Mexican toppings.
Ingredients:
- 1½ cups corn meal
- 1 cup flour
- ½ lb cottage cheese
- ~1 cup water
- ½ tbsp salt (or less)
- ½ tsp white pepper (black is okay, or chili)
- toppings, e.g. guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl to make a very thick batter. Make patties at most ½cm thick and fry them in oil for about 3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned (They could also be fried on a baking sheet in the oven). After frying, arrange them on a baking sheet and cover them with guacamole, salsa and shredded cheddar cheese. Broil until cheese is melted (a couple of minutes). Serve with sour cream. Makes about 10 tortillas.
