Salbutes

menu for yor
Salbutes
2 cups Masa
1/4 cup Whole wheat flour
1 tsp. Salt
2 cups Water
2 cups Vegetarian Carnitas p. 53 (beef)
1 1/2 cups Taco Salsa p. 12
Shredded Romaine lettuce
Sliced Tomatoes
Mix Masa, flour, salt, and water then make a dough. Roll
into about 15 balls. Traditionally each ball is pressed into
tortilla size and deep fried. But you can also cook on a hot
griddle like a tortilla to avoid the heavy oil: it still tastes
great.
Top with carnitas, lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa, then serve.
Serving Suggestions:
• with a fresh vegetable salad
• with chili pinto beans
• or make it a meal in itself

How Much Iron is
Too Much for Children?
Too much iron may be
a cause for greater concern
than too little. The British
Medical Journal reported on
a study indicating that the
practice of routinely feeding
babies iron to prevent anemia
may increase the risk of Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome
(SIDS) or crib death.
If the child tests anemic,
then give iron supplements, if
not, do not give iron to the
child. The best way to provide
iron is through diet, include
these iron-rich foods:
raisins, prunes, figs, leafy
greens, sea vegetables, winter
squash, tofu, grains, kidney
beans, millet, rice, and
blackstrap molasses. To assure
absortption, add a food
source of vitamin C or a
supplement.
