Nachos

  • 3/4 cup maize/corn flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 Tbsp oil
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • up to 1/4 cup warm water
Sift together: corn flour, all-purpose flour, salt.
Mix in oil and oregano.
Knead, adding in just enough warm water to make a stiff but smooth dough that can be rolled out.
Cover and set aside 30 minutes.
 Knead dough again.

Shape dough into balls,
On a floured board, roll each ball as thin as possible.
Prick dough with a fork so dough doesn't puff when frying.
Cut into triangular pieces.

Deep-fry in batches, 8-10 minutes on medium heat just until light gold.
Place on paper towels to absorb oil.

Transfer nachos to a clean dry pan.
If greasy, sprinkle with 1 Tbsp flour to absorb the oil, toss gently.

Serve with salsa.
