Ingredients
- 2 cups of masa harina
- A generous cup of water
- A cup of crumbled queso fresco
Step 1
Blend masa harina and water in a mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth; then, knead it thoroughly. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 2
Divide the dough into eight equal portions and shape them into 2-inch diameter balls. Roll out each ball on a floured surface until it forms a 6-inch round. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of queso fresco on top of each circle. Cover the cheese with another tortilla and press the edges together firmly to encase the cheese within.
Step 3
Preheat an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each stuffed tortilla in the skillet one at a time until the cheese melts and the tortillas turn a golden brown color, around 2 minutes per side.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your shredded cheese in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out.
- 2. Store your tortillas in a resealable plastic bag or wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft and pliable.
- 3. Arrange all your ingredients neatly in the fridge so they are easily accessible when you're ready to make your cheesy stuffed tortillas.
