Start by making the homemade corn tortillas.

Measure out 150 g of Masa and one cup of warm water.

Add the water gradually to the Masa, mixing until it forms a moist but not sticky dough.

Use a tortilla press lined with plastic wrap to flatten the dough into tortillas.

Make ping-pong ball-sized dough balls and press them into tortillas.

Wrap the pressed tortillas in plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.

Dice one red bell pepper and one yellow onion for the filling.

Prepare the meats: cut bacon into even pieces and have beef and 6 oz of pork chorizo ready.

Preheat the grill to high direct heat.

Cook the tortillas on a hot flat skillet or comal for about 20-25 seconds on each side, until they puff up slightly.

Place cooked tortillas in a bowl lined with a towel to keep warm.

In a cold skillet, add the bacon to render the fat as the skillet heats up.
