WHITE BEAN AND PUMPKIN SEED MASA APPETIZER
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- 1. Prepare the tomatillo salsa. Cover and reserve. Then prepare the tortilla dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a dry skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds until they start to brown and pop in the pan. Transfer to a plate. 2. When the pumpkin seeds are cool, grind them coarsely in a food processor and put in a bowl. Add the beans, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix well. The mixture will be thick and hold its shape on a spoon. Reserve. 3. Line a tray with plastic wrap. Prepare the tortilla dough to make 8 tortillas. Press 1 (4 1/2-inch) tortilla. Peel off the top piece of plastic, and lay the tortilla on a flat work surface with the bottom piece of plastic still attached. Put about 1 tablespoon of the reserved bean filling on one half of the tortilla. Carefully fold the tortilla over, using the plastic as a guide, and press the edges together to form a crescent. Unfold the piece of plastic. Seal the edges of the filled crescent. Place on the tray. Repeat, pressing, filling, and folding the tortillas until all are finished. 4. In a deep skillet, pour oil to a depth of about 2 inches and heat until the oil shimmers. Fry the filled tortillas 1 or 2 at a time, until deep golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot, topped with the salsa. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."

Steps:
- Make the masa into a dough by adding salt and 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water. Stir it well and knead it a bit - it should not be sticky or dry - and then let it rest, covered, for at least 15 minutes. Mix together all the remaining ingredients except the oil.
- Flatten about 1/8 of the dough on your hand, then fill it with a bit of the stuffing. The dough will be flexible, so you'll be able to make an egg-shaped dumpling by enclosing some of the filling within. (Even if the dumpling is imperfect - that is, with some of the filling escaping - it'll be fine. Just shape it nicely and don't worry about beans or bits of onion on the surface.) Repeat with the rest of the dough and the filling.
- Fry in about 1/4 inch of oil or lard, turning as needed to brown beautifully. Serve hot or at room temperature with tomato-pumpkinseed salsa (recipe here).
