I've been wanting these! Got the ingredients on my shopping list....can hardly wait! They're soooo good!
Flat Bread Corn Tortillas
Ingredients
2 cups masa flour
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup oil, grape seed or corn
1/2 cup corn kernels, raw
2 teaspoons salt to taste
Directions
Mix water, oil, and masa flour with corn kernels and 2 teaspoons salt. Mix together to make a pliable dough that does not stick to your hand.
Divide dough into balls a little larger than a golf ball and place between two large sheets of plastic wrap. Use a large sauté pan to press the tortilla to the thickness of the corn kernels.
Heat an iron skillet over medium heat. Drizzle a small amount of oil onto the tortilla and into the skillet. Spread it with a piece of paper towel to coat the pan evenly. Place the tortilla in the hot skillet oil side down. Cook for a couple of minutes until it begins to form air bubbles or turns lightly browned. Turn the tortilla over and finish cooking. Remove to plate and set aside.
Salsa
Ingredients
4 whole tomatoes of different varieties
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 sweet peppers, seeded and diced
1 cup snap beans, blanched and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 small zucchini squash, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 red onion, diced
2 tablespoons chopped parsley or cilantro
2 tablespoons grape seed oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Slice the tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds. Chop into pieces (about 1/2 inch) and place in medium sized bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and toss to together. Serve with flat bread corn tortillas.
