Preparation

Low
  • For the filling of the chili, heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-low heat, sauté the onion and garlic until they become translucent. Add the tomato, ground pork, clove, and cumin; stir constantly until the meat begins to darken, then add the fried plantain, almond, caper, parsley, salt, and pepper; cook for 8 more minutes or until the meat is sufficiently browned. Reserve and cool slightly.
  • Hydrate the pasilla chiles with hot water for 6 minutes, drain and dry with absorbent paper. Fill with the previous mixture. Reserve until use.
  • For the beans, in a pot with hot vegetable oil, fry the onion until it is dark. Add the árbol chili and black beans with broth, cook over medium heat until the broth begins to bubble; now is the time to add the avocado leaf and enough salt. Lower the flame and mash the beans with a potato masher, cook over low heat, and remove once the beans have lost 80% of their cooking liquid. Reserve.
  • For the dough, mix in a bowl the corn dough together with lard, salt, and water until achieving a moist and firm consistency.
  • Prepare the tetelas by taking a small ball of dough and flattening it on the tortilla press using two sheets of plastic. Place a bit of beans in the center and fold the tortilla into a triangle with 3 folds going towards the center. Cook over low heat on a hot griddle, flipping constantly. Keep warm.
  • Prepare the memelas or picaditas by taking a small ball of dough and flattening it on the tortilla press using two sheets of plastic. Make sure the tortilla is not too thin. Cook on a hot griddle over low heat on both sides; once the tortilla is cooked, pinch the edge to form a border.
  • Without removing the memela from the griddle, place a bit of lard in the center of the memela; once it melts from the heat, add a tablespoon of sour cream along with fresh cheese and onion; cook for 2 minutes over low heat. Repeat the process, substituting sour cream with red sauce and green sauce. Keep warm.
  • For the quesadillas, take a small ball of dough and flatten it on the tortilla press using two sheets of plastic, cook over low heat on both sides. Place shredded quesillo and fried chapulines in the center, fold in half and cook until the cheese melts. Keep warm.
  • For the tasajo, enchilada meat, and chorizo in a pan, add oil and fry the tasajo, enchilada meat, and chorizo for 5 minutes on each side until completely cooked. Reserve.
  • Serve on a large plate one by one of the dishes, accompanied by guacamole, chapulines, quesillo, cream, and sauces.
