Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a medium skillet, heat the oil and sauté the onion until it turns golden brown, add the garlic, corn kernels, epazote, huitlacoche, and zucchini flowers. Cook for 15 minutes and season with salt and pepper. In a medium skillet, fry the tortillas with a little hot oil and place them on absorbent paper to remove excess fat. Arrange a layer of tortillas in an oven-safe dish. Add some of the huitlacoche filling, vegan cream, vegan cheese, and repeat this process until the dish is full. Finish with cheese and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, serve, and garnish with zucchini flowers and chopped parsley.

Rinse the huitlacoche very well with water and baking soda before using it to prevent bitterness. Find vegan cheese and cream in specialty stores. You can make your own vegan cream based on cashew nuts.
