Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground meat (my friend used turkey, I used beef; they were both good)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 grated carrot
• 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
• 1/2 finely chopped onion
• 5 cloves garlic (we love garlic, feel free to use less)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup of flour and water - mixed
• Oil for frying  (my friend used canola, I used coconut)
• Uncooked tortillas or (make your own pastry)

Directions

• Cut tortillas in half and set aside.  Brown meat. Chop all vegetables and add to meat. Add salt and pepper. Fold tortillas into a triangle so that they make a pocket. Use the flour and water mixture as a paste to seal the seams. Put a heaping teaspoon of meat in the pocket. Again, use the flour and water mixture to seal the top seam and fold it over.  At first I used quite a bit of the flour and water but as I got more comfortable with sealing the seams I didnt need as much. After you have a few made, heat the oil to fry them. Fry them until the pastry is brown and then flip. Remove from pan when both sides are brown and put them on a plate with a towel to absorb the oil or on a rack with a platter underneath. Makes about 20
