Nicaraguan Güirila Recipe

güirila with cuajada & cream

The origin of the Nicaraguan Güirila is the corn, it has a very similar form to the Tortilla Nica but with a slightly different preparation, we teach you how to make this recipe here:

Ingredients

  • 6 tender corn
    1/4 cup shredded cheese
    1 teaspoon of cream
    2 tablespoons of sugar

Preparation

  1. Remove the corn kernels from the cobs, and then grind them with a little water.
  2. In a bowl mix the corn dough with the grated cheese, cream and sugar to taste.
  3. We will take a portion of the mixture and place it on top of a dry banana leaf, clean and greased with butter.
  4. We give our mixture the shape of a tortilla and then cover it with another banana leaf.
  5. We place the güirilas on a comal or hot plate.
  6. When it cooks and browns the bottom, we turn it over and wait for the same thing to happen on the other side.

For a better taste of the Güirila of Nicaragua we recommend that it be accompanied by cream and curd from the northern cities of our country, including Sébaco.
