Toppings

Method

Tortillas

  1. 1

    Make the Tortillas

    In a large bowl, combine the white corn flour, warm water, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Divide into 8 equal balls.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tortillas

    Using a tortilla press or rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle. Cook on a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Keep warm.

Grilled Tilapia

    Marinate the Tilapia

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the tilapia fillets and coat evenly. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
