Ingredients:
For the tortillas:
2 cups of masa harina (corn flour)
1 1/2 cups of warm water
1/2 tsp of salt
For the filling:
1 cup of cooked and shredded chicken
1/2 cup of diced onions
1/2 cup of diced bell peppers
1/2 cup of corn kernels
1/2 cup of cooked black beans
1 tsp of cumin powder
1 tsp of chili powder
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of black pepper
Instructions:
1. Make the tortilla dough:
Start by mixing the masa harina, salt, and warm water in a large mixing bowl. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough feels dry, add a little more water, and if it's too sticky, add a bit more masa harina. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling:
In a separate pan, sauté the onions, bell peppers, and corn until they are slightly softened. Add in the cooked chicken, black beans, and spices, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Roll out the tortillas:
Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place a ball in between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a thin circle. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
4. Cook the tortillas:
Heat a pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the rolled out tortilla on the hot surface and cook for about 30 seconds on each side, until it starts to puff up and has a few brown spots. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
5. Assemble the tortillas:
Place a spoonful of the filling on one side of the tortilla and fold it over to create a half-moon shape. Press down the edges to seal the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
6. Serve and enjoy:
You can serve these Indian-style corn tortillas as is or with your choice of toppings such as salsa, avocado, or sour cream. They make a delicious and filling meal, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a party appetizer.
