Method
Start with the tortillas. In a mixing bowl, mix corn flour and salt and slowly add hot water. Form into a dough, knead thoroughly. Dough should be smooth and elastic. Form dough balls. Sprinkle dough with flour to keep from sticking. Keep dough covered while making the tortillas.
Heat griddle, but do not grease. Take a dough ball and make a circle using your hands. Using your fingers make small indentations all around the circle. With a rolling pin, flatten dough to make a circle. Take to griddle and cook. Leave on griddle until bubbles form. Turn and cook other side. Turn only once. Place hot tortillas on a plate.
Tortillas can be warmed later in the microwave. To do so, wrap tortillas in wax paper and heat for a few seconds.
Next, prepare the spicy tomato salad. In a bowl add roughly chop tomatoes, minced garlic, finely chopped red onions and finely chopped fresh red chili. Sprinkle with olive oil and press lime juice on top. Add fresh coriander and mix it all, set aside.
Now, prepare the fillings in two different pans. One pan for minced meat and one pan for the chopped pheasant or rabbit.
Start with onions. Fry on medium heat until they turn translucent. Next add the garlic and chili and fry for another 2 minutes. Now add the rabbit or pheasant meat and cook through. Season with salt, pepper and lime juice. Follow the same steps for the minced venison filling. Simply add the beans at the very end of the cooking process.
Now it is time to serve up. Serve tortillas with meat, avocado, spicy tomato salad, fresh coriander, a spicy sauce and some fresh lime juice.
Happy cooking & Bon appétit.
