Masa Cakes with Black Beans

Little corn cakes filled with yummies

Get some masa harina. Mix 1 cup of the corn meal with about 3/4 cup warm water to make a dough the consistency of soft cookie dough. Roll into 2 inch balls and then cover the ball with a piece of plastic wrap and flatten with a press or the bottom of a frypan.
Cook on a griddle over medium heat on each side until ALMOST cooked through. Remove from griddle, let cool for a minute and then pinch up edges to form a little cup shape.
Put back griddle with cheese or warmed fillings in the cup and heat thru. Top with lettuce, tomato, whateva'.
We like savory black beans or chicken or TVP mixed with taco seasonings.
