Steps

1

Combine all ingredients and knead until you get a smooth dough.
2

Form balls as big or small as you like, press the ball between plastic (a bag) and press until you form a tortilla. You can use a press or a plate.
3

This time, I filled them with cactus and chorizo and peppers with cheese. Fold them, shape them with the same plastic, and to seal them well, here's a tip: press with a bowl (see photo) and they're ready to fry.

They turned out delicious!!! 😋 You can serve them with rice, or open them and add lettuce and sauces.
