• For the tortillas:
• 330 ml hot water
• 250 g masa harina

• 2 Red peppers, chopped
• 2 small Onions, chopped
• Seasoning
• To cook:

Method

To make the tortillas:

1. Mix the hot water with the masa harina - a food processor is ideal as the water should be very hot.
2. Allow to cool and shape into 10 equal sized balls.
3. Using a rolling pin or a tortilla press, shape into very thin disks.
4. Heat a frying pan to a medium high temperature.
5. Cook each tortilla on one side for 15 seconds.
6. Turn and cook for 45 seconds.
7. Turn again and cook for a further 15 seconds.
8. They should have brown speckles.

  Pressing the tortillas

To make the dobladas:

1. Heat some oil over a lowish heat in the same frying pan.
2. Mix the filling ingredients together.
3. Place a tortilla in the pan and place some of the filling on one half of the tortilla.
4. When the cheese has melted, fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling and serve.

Serving suggestions

These are normally served as appetisers, allowing one per person, but would also make an excellent main course. Nice served with a simple salad.

Variations

Try using minced meat instead of cheese.

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!
