Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made the tortillas with Masienda masa harina and then fried them according to the recipe - so crispy and perfect and delicious! Topped them with refried beans, shredded tofu, cashew cream, avocado, radish, cilantro, lime, and Pisqueya hot sauce.
