  • For the sauce, blend the hydrated guajillo chiles together with the roasted garlic, whole cumin, allspice, white vinegar and chicken broth until completely integrated.

    Fry the sauce in a saucepan with hot oil, season with salt and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Let cool slightly and reserve.
  • For the filling, in a large enough frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat and sauté the onion with the garlic until they have a shiny tone. Add the zucchini, chayote and tomato, reduce the heat to low heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the mushrooms, the yellow corn kernel, the Cuaresmeño pepper, the coriander, salt and pepper; cook over medium heat for 8 more minutes. Remove from the heat, let it cool slightly and reserve.
  • In a pan with hot oil, lightly fry the tortillas on both sides until they become flexible enough. Drain on absorbent paper. Repeat until finished with the tortillas.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
  • To assemble the Aztec cake, in a rectangular baking dish place a bed of fried tortillas, bathe them with the guajillo sauce, add the filling over the entire surface and cover with the Caperucita® sliced Panela Cheese; repeat this process, forming two or three more layers until finished with cheese. Finally, place a layer of fried tortillas, cover with sauce and add cuaresmeño pepper and chopped cilantro. Bake for 20 minutes at 180 ° C.
  • Remove from the oven, serve hot and garnish with cilantro.
