Entomatadas - a classic Mexican dish similar to enchiladas but uses a tomato based sauce

Ingredients

  • 6 roma tomatoes
  • 
1 chile serrano
  • 
2 garlic cloves
  • 
1/4 white onion, plus extra slices
  • 
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 
1/4 teaspoon Mexican dried oregano
  • 2 bouillon cubes
  • 
1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil, plus more for frying
  • Small bunch of epazote or cilantro
  • 7 corn tortillas
  • Salt to taste

Filling

  • Requesón
Seared oyster mushrooms
  • 
Finely diced white onion

Garnishes

  • Crema
  • Queso fresco
  • 
Pickled white onions

Directions

  1. In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the tomatoes and serrano chile. Cook until tender, then remove and let cool. Place the tomatoes in a blender cup with the skins on, remove the chile stem, and add oregano, garlic, bouillon, water, onion, and cumin seeds. Blend until smooth.
  2. Heat a large pan and add avocado oil with onion. Fry until golden brown. Pour in the blended sauce, add the epazote bunch, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Taste and adjust with more salt or bouillon if needed. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the color deepens. Remove from heat.
  3. In a frying pan, add a few tablespoons of oil and lightly fry the corn tortillas for a few seconds on each side, keeping them soft. Carefully dip each tortilla in the sauce, coating both sides.
  4. To serve, spoon some sauce onto a plate. Place the tortilla on top, add the filling, and fold. Finish with crema, queso fresco, and pickled onions.
