Beef Tortillas

George and I made Masa tortillas for dinner last night. They were amazingly good. We used the Masa flour to make them, they are so easy.

2 cups Masa flour
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 tsp salt

Mix together to form a dough. Roll into balls. Should be tacky to touch. Roll the balls out thinly between wax paper so they don't stick to the rolling pin or bench.We made them small and got about 18 tortillas.
We fried them on a skillet on top of the gas hobs.Keep warm until you serve or reheat slightly in the microwave.

I used rump steak sliced finely, then marinated in the following mix for about 1/2 an hour or so.

4 cloves of garlic crushed
1 chilli finely sliced
1 tsp cumin
S & P
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tsp cider vinegar
1/2 tsp coconut sugar
1 Tbsp olive oil.

You could vary the spices to your taste. Stir fry steak and serve hot.

I sliced lettuce, grated carrot, diced tomato and guacamole and chilli sauce. Add whatever takes your fancy as you make your own tortillas.

These are Wheat free, dairy free and sugar free. Ideal dinner for George. Masa Tortillas are Low GI too. So a win all round for me to cook.They are very fresh and yummy.
