Serving suggestions
These are normally served as a appetisers, allowing one per person, but would also make an excellent main course. Nice served with a simple salad.
Chef's notes
I have not specified any quantities for the filling as I feel that it is down to your own individual preference.
If you don't have a tortilla press, use 2 chopping boards or just two sheets of wood as a substitute. Place ball of dough between two non-stick surfaces such as small squares of Bake-O-Glide and stand on them!
