Preparation

In a medium bowl, mix Masarica and salt, pour water into the Masarica mixture. With wet hands, knead the mixture until a large ball of dough forms. Roll out the dough into 12 balls.
Using tortilla press, lined with plastic wrap, press each ball into 4 ½ ‘ diameter circles. (Keep dough balls and tortillas moist by covering them with damp towels).
Heat a lightly greased griddle, griddle or cast-iron skillet on the cooker over medium heat. To the dough circle, add a slice of cheese and jalapeño pepper strips (if preferred). Fold circle in half (crescent shape), pressing edges together to seal. Place tortillas on a hot cooking surface. Cook for about 6 minutes until golden brown, toasted and cheese is melted, turning once.
Serve with guacamole and salsita, if desired.
