List of Ingredients
2 c. water
2-3 tbsp. mild chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8-1/4 tsp garlic salt
black pepper
1 tbsp. vegan margarine
1/4 container of Baca Chili (hot)
2-3 c. cooked spanish rice
1 16 oz. can of refried beans
2 oz diced green chilesRecipe
In a saucepan, pour in the 2c.water, add the mild chili powder, and stir.
Now sprinkle the garlic powder, garlic salt, and black pepper on top of the
water, add the margarine, and cook to a boil, stirring once in awhile. After
the mixture begins to boil, add the Baca Chili, cook about 10 more minutes,
then add 1/2 of this mixture to the cooked rice and refried bean mixture.
Cook down to a light paste.
Now follow the directions on the back of the prepared masa package,
replacing the necessary lard with vegetable shortening, and the necessary
water with the rest of the spicy water mixture. Test the finished masa
product by rolling a piece into a ball about the size of your pinky finger,
and trying to float it in a glass of warm water. If need be, you may add
more vegetable shortening until it does float.
Now you are ready to assemble. Soak your corn husks in water for 24 hours
prior to assembling, dry them off, add a thin layer of masa, the desired
amount of filling, fold, roll, and steam for approximatly 1 hour, or until
masa feels firm to the touch.
Serves: 3 dozen
