  • To make the tortillas: Ensure that the corn dough is very well hydrated; if not, add a little water. Form small balls and make the tortillas with a press. Cook the tortillas on a griddle for 5 to 7 minutes. Keep them covered with a cloth.
  • Cook the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chiltepín chili for 10 minutes or until the skin of the tomatoes starts to peel. Remove from the pot and blend for 2 to 4 minutes or until a smooth sauce is obtained.
  • Heat Inés® Spicy Sesame Oil in a pot over medium-low heat, add the previously blended sauce, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10 more minutes or until the sauce reduces a bit. If necessary, season again with salt. Set aside.
  • For the meat: Pour Inés® Spicy Sesame Oil onto a griddle over medium heat and cook the cecina for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Cut the EVA® Italian Lettuce into thin strips and set aside.
  • Soak the tortillas well with the sauce, but quickly so they don’t break. Place on a plate, folding it like an enchilada.
  • Add a little more sauce on top of the Veracruz-style enchiladas, place the cecina on the side, garnish with a bit of EVA® Italian Lettuce and fresh cheese, and accompany with refried beans.
