  3. Divide into small balls the size of golf balls and proceed to roll out into size and thickness you prefer.

  4. Cook on top of stove over medium heat using a cast iron grill or heavy skillet until top is slightly bubbly then turning on opposite side for a minute or two.

  5. Keep stacked and warm inside a clean dish towel.

Recipe Note

To Latinos everywhere, these are not only our bread but usually our utensil at mealtime as well! Some like big and thin, some like them small and fat, depending on the region of the country you're from and the way your grandmother made them!
