I cut the recipe to 1 cup of masa since I wanted to try it out first. I added water until the dough reaches a cookie dough consistancy. For the filling I used mexican white cheese for quesadilla, spinkle some salts. There are so many types to masa harina so I just picked out the one made with precooked white corn. It came out very close to the one I had at the resturant back in San Jose, Ca.

I am a Spanish teacher and my favorite thing to cook is a slow baked Lima bean casserole with herbs de provence. I also love cooking dairy-free with cashew cream.
