Almojábanas are very popular in some countries of Latin America, especially in Colombia. They're round breads made of corn and cheese. There are many recipes for almojábanas, some are made with corn flour, others are made with rice flour and some combine both, like in this case. They're very easy to make and are perfect as a light snack or as part of your lunch. If your family likes cheese, you'll find that they will love this recipe. I give it to my children as a snack and I always add fruit or a bit of apple juice. I hope you like it. MORE + LESS -
