Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups water , or as needed
  • 1 tsp salt , or to taste
  • 4-6 ounces queso quesadilla
Servings:
Units:
Instructions
  1. Add water and salt to the masa. Enough moisture to clump together into a moist ball. The dough should squish easily between your fingers when you squeeze it.
  2. Take a small amount, roll into a ball then flatten into a patty.
  3. Add a pinch of shredded cheese onto your patty.
  4. Fold the dough up around the cheese and seal it back up and make it into another ball.
  5. Flatten this ball out into a patty by repeatedly patting it with your flattened hand.
  6. Rub with vegetable oil and place on a lightly greased, medium-hot griddle.
  7. Cook each side until sun spots appear, the cheese is bubbling, and the dough is cooked through.
Recipe Notes

Make your dough fairly moist. Play with the consistency. You don’t want a lot of cracking on the edges.
