Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For eight people
Ingredients:
Two pounds of Maseca (a cornmeal found in the international section of the supermarket)
Approximately two cups of vegetable oil
Two cups of beans
Chipilín (optional: it is an herb that is used in Central America that can be difficult to find in the US) or chicken soup to taste
Salt to taste
Waxed or aluminum foil
Approximately three cups of water to boil
Mix the Maseca, salt, beans and oil to make the dough. You must mix the dough well to make it smooth. If it is hard with two cups of oil, add more oil. Ticucos, according to the indigenous recipe, are made with lard to make them soft. Divide the dough into eight equal parts and wrap them in waxed paper or aluminum. Put the titucos inside a pot with enough water until it covers them. Cover the pot and boil the ticucos for an hour.
