  • About

These tortillas have been on the menu at Frith Street for over fifteen years. They are combined with guacamole, pico de gallo sauce and ceviche de camaron to form an interesting and refreshing starter or light lunch dish.

Ingredients

  • 150 ml water
  • 25 g fresh yeast or 1 sachet dried yeast

Method
