  • Grill the chiles on a comal and then soak in hot water until softened.
  • Blend the chiles with the cinnamon, thyme, cumin, garlic, onion, and a bit of the soaking liquid from the chiles. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the portobellos, mushrooms, and champignons in a bowl and add the sauce. Mix very well and marinate for about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the nopales in a small pot with boiling salted water and tomato skins. Rinse to remove the slime and set aside.
  • Assemble the mixiotes by placing a bit of nopales in each previously rehydrated leaf, and on top the mushroom mixture. Sprinkle a bit of grilled avocado leaf and tie with the same leaf or with hemp twine.
  • Cook the mixiotes in a steamer with water for about 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender. Serve over a bed of white rice and accompany with tortillas. Buy HERE
