To form the hat mold, cover a 40 cm diameter cake pan with aluminum foil and place a 15 cm diameter bowl in the center, cover it with aluminum foil. Set aside. In a bowl, pour the warm water, add salt, then add P.A.N® Pre-cooked White Corn Flour, oregano, thyme, and wheat flour, mixing with a spoon until combined, gradually until you have a homogeneous consistency. Set aside 2 small balls of dough. Add green food coloring to a small ball of dough and mix until completely integrated. Repeat the process with red food coloring and the other ball of dough. Set aside. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 cm, covering the previously aluminum-wrapped mold. Roll out the red dough to form a strip and cut it to a thickness of 2 cm, using a brush to glaze with a little water. Attach the red strip to the hat as shown in the video. Repeat the process with the green dough, this time 1 cm thick, and attach it over the red strip of the hat. Roll out 2 more strips of red and green dough, each 2 cm in diameter, and cut triangles. Place a little water on the triangles and attach them to the top of the hat, spray with cooking spray. Bake for 1 hour at 170 °C, carefully remove the hat from the mold and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Let it cool in the turned-off oven. Cover the hat with guacamole, and decorate with pico de gallo and cilantro. Enjoy.
