Tortillas "Mekitsi with Cheese" Recipe
Makikita (mekici) is a fried bread from simple dough on the water. In some ways, tortillas are similar to chebureks, someone may find they have similar features with the Turkish gozleme. It has many cooking options, both with and without filling. I have a simple, but very tasty version of cooking with cheese. The word" MEK "is translated from Bulgarian as "soft".
