1
Prepare the Masa Crisps
In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina, water, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into discs.
2
Cook the Masa Crisps
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each disc for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned and crispy. Set aside.
3
Smoke the Ricotta
In a heatproof dish, place the ricotta cheese. Drizzle with olive oil. Using a smoking gun or grill, infuse the ricotta with smoke for about 10 minutes.
4
Char the Limes
While the ricotta is smoking, halve the limes and place them cut side down on a hot grill or skillet until charred, about 3-4 minutes.
5
Assemble the Dish
Spread the smoked ricotta on a serving platter. Top with fire-roasted salsa and garnish with charred lime halves. Serve with masa crisps on the side.
