For the epazote infusion: In a pot, add water and epazote and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool. Set aside.
For the red sauce: On a griddle, roast tomato, onion, and Habanero chile until charred. Remove and set chile aside for garnish.
Transfer tomato and onion to a blender, add water and salt, and blend until smooth. In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Pour blended sauce into the skillet and fry for 3 minutes until it turns color and reduces. Set aside.
For the pumpkin seeds sauce: In a food processor, combine pumpkin seeds, salt, and epazote infusion and grind to a paste. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook pumpkin seeds paste. Add more epazote infusion and cook for 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
For assembling the traditional papadzules: Stuff previously fried tortillas with hard-boiled egg chunks and roll up.
Serve traditional papadzules topped with pumpkin seeds sauce, red sauce, hard-boiled egg, charred Habanero chile, pumpkin seeds, and epazote.
