Here are my ingredient ratio tweaks:
1 cup masa harina
1/2 tsp sugar
3/4 cup water
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1.5 oz semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
The original recipe features salt in the corn flour dough, but I added sugar because this is a dessert. Per masa harina cup, the amount of water that I use is more because I live in an arid part of southern California where even the ice cubes in my freezer tend to evaporate.
Directions:
1. Stir together masa harina, sugar and water; but gradually add the water, stirring with each 1/8 cup. It is possible that all the water might not be used so don't add it all at once. When the dough comes together, you should be able to work it by hand. It will have the texture of playdoh.
2. Roll the dough into a large ball and cut into quarters. For each quarter of dough, roll it into a ball and flatten it with the palm of your hand on a sheet of wax paper (if you use wax paper, you won't need an offset spatula to remove it; just peel off the wax paper and you're set). Press out the dough until it is roughly 5 or 6 inches in diameter. Repeat with another quarter dough piece.
3. Roughly chop semisweet chocolate and set aside.
The next step for the tortillas and chocolate have two possible methods, 4a and 4b. I used 4a, but 4b seems more practical and less messy to deal with.
4a. Heat skillet (for tortillas, I use a round 8-inch cast iron pan), then add the oil and let the oil heat up. Turn stove to "low" because you want to slowcook the tortilla so that it cooks entirely through from one side. Add one tortilla, put the chocolate on top of that, and the second tortilla on top of the chocolate. You can gently lift one edge of the bottom tortilla to check its brownedness, about 3-5 mins. Flip the tortilla sandwich and cook the other side of the tortilla. When that has browned, remove from heat and serve.
4b. Add oil to skillet over medium heat. Lay a tortilla in the skillet and cook, flipping once until lightly browned. About 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the tortilla. Transfer tortilla to a plate and put some chopped chocolate along half of the tortilla. Fold in half and let the heat from the tortilla melt the chocolate. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chocolate. Serve hot.
