Sweet and Simple Strawberry and Cream Tetelas
Sweet and Simple Strawberry and Cream Tetelas
February 7, 2025
Tetelas — triangular pockets of masa stuffed with any number of fillings — look so impressive, you’ll never believe how easy they are to make.
You can fill them with whatever you’d like; typically they’re savory, but once you try this sweet version, you’ll realize the sky’s the limit. The simple filling of cream cheese and strawberry jam is a perfect pairing with the slightly sweet earthiness of red masa harina. Top them with macerated strawberries for a surprising twist on a classic flavor combination.

Hi Christine! This recipe makes about 4 tetelas. If you’re storing them raw, cover them with a damp towel and place them in the fridge. You’ll want to use them by the end of the day to keep the masa from drying out. If they’re cooked, they’ll last a few days in the fridge, but they might lose a little of their freshness. To reheat, warm them up on a comal/skillet, splashing a little water on them to add moisture.
Hi, quick question, how many does this make? And what is the best way to store?
Use red masa, blue masa, and white masa for July 4.
Mix yellow and blue masa to make green and use green, white, and red for Cinco de Mayo.
Can use different fruits to match the colors of the masas.
Any one have any ideas to mix masas for Mardi Gras?
Hi Ania! Thanks so much for your question. The pink color comes naturally from red masa harina, which is made from red corn. No extra ingredients are needed for the color. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Hi,
Hope you and the Masienda team are having a great start of the year. Just with a query, how do you make pink flour or what ingredient does it have to look pink? Many thanks.
Kind and warmest regards!
