Spicy Salbutes

Ingredients

For the Salbutes:

• 2 cups masa harina

• 2 tablespoons flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 3/4 cup water, or more if necessary

• Oil for frying

For the Garnish:

• 2 chicken breasts, poached, skin removed, shredded

• 1 small onion, chopped fine

• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Instructions

Combine the masa, flour, baking powder and salt. Add enough water to make a soft dough. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

Pinch off small amounts of the dough and roll into balls. With a rolling pin, roll the balls into small tortillas about 3 inches in diameter. Fry the tortillas on a hot griddle on both sides until the dough is dry but not brown.

Then fry the tortillas in hot oil for a minute or until both sides are brown and crisp. The tortillas should immediately puff-up in the oil. Carefully remove and drain. Top with garnish.
