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.

Not exactly on the topic of masa cakes, but when I went to register my car at the DMV in Kapalama I discovered that the Honolulu Used Food store is now closed. No more used food on the islands as far as I know.

Where will I go for past pull-date canned goods? Never mind, the regular grocery stores have all sorts of past pull-date stuff, they just don't give you the discount.
