["In a bowl combine masa harina, flour, and salt. Stir in water and egg. Add melted shortening, mix well. Gently knead dough until it's moist but holds its shape. Cover and chill for 1 hour.", "While dough is chilling begin preparing salsa. In a pot place tomatillos and jalapeno and cover with water. Bring them to boil and keep them in there until the tomatillo skins turn brownish color. Using a slotted spoon scoop tomatillos and jalapeno out and place into blender; add about 1/2 cup of water from pot. Add onion, garlic, cumin and salt. Blend several minutes until smooth.", "To cook cecina heat a skillet on high, place cecina onto skillet until browned on each side; about 3-5 minutes each side. Remove from pan and repeat until all pieces of the cecina are cooked.", "Divide dough into 6 portions. Roll one portion of the dough into a ball (keep remaining dough covered to prevent drying out; if it dries out add a little water). On a floured surface pat ball and roll it in between a plastic bag to form and oval shape about 4\" long; form a shell by pinching up the edges of the round to make a ridge. Repeat until all pieces of the dough are done.""
