Casabe with Cheese and Tomato

Ingredients:

• Dry cassava flour
• Salt to taste
• Grated or sliced cheese (mozzarella, costeño, or your choice)
• Tomato slices
• Dried oregano

Preparation:

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
2. Once hot, place a handful of cassava flour in a sifter.
3. Sift it directly into the skillet, spreading into a thin layer.
4. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
5. The flour will start to compact into a white tortilla.
6. When it holds together, carefully flip it.
7. Cook 2 more minutes, then flip again.
8. Add cheese and tomato slices on top.
9. Sprinkle a bit more salt and oregano.
10. Fold the tortilla like a large empanada.
11. Let it cook a few more minutes until the cheese melts and the casabe becomes crispy.

• Chopped onion
• Chopped cilantro
