Pastelitos (Pastry Hack)
This is the situation, craving a snack, not energy or time to make pastry, no time to buy already-made-dough... Do you have tortilla wraps... Then that's all you need, well that, and a few other ingredients...
This recipe makes 10 snack size pastries.
Ingredients:
5 tortilla wraps
1 tablespoon of AP flour
2 tablespoons of water
Filling: ham & cheese, leftover (anything you like)
Oil to fry
Directions:
Grab the tortilla wraps, and with the help of a small circular plate cut out two round piece. The rest of the tortilla pieces can be stored and saved to have wacky nacho shapes (so there is no waste).
In a small bowl add the flour and the water and whisk it to make a glue-type mixture.
Fill the rounds living some empty spaces on the edges with the help of a spoon (or a kitchen brush) at the glue to the edges and close the rounds into half-moon shapes.
With the help of a fork, you can press the edges to sealed them.
Fry until golden brown.
Enjoy!
