  • Meanwhile, mix the flour with the salt, baking powder, and water little by little until you have a dough that does not stick to your hands. Form small balls of dough. Spread out with your hands and fill with pork rinds and cheese. Seal the ends of the dough, press into a circular shape, and spray with avocado oil.
