Preheat the oven to 180 °C. For the sauce, blend the ricotta cheese with sour cream, garlic, yellow corn, milk, vegetable broth, and cornstarch until fully integrated. Cook the sauce in a hot pot, season with salt and pepper until the consistency becomes semi-thick. Keep warm. For the filling, in a skillet with vegetable oil, sauté the onion until its color changes slightly. Add the zucchini, strips, corn, salt, pepper, and parsley, cook for 3 minutes, stirring continuously. Set aside. Fry the tortillas in enough hot vegetable oil for 3 seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels and set aside until use. Assemble the Aztec cake. In a baking dish, place a layer of fried corn tortilla, pour the corn sauce, the vegetable filling, and the panela cheese; repeat and on the last layer, just place tortilla and sauce. Cover the assembled cake with sliced Manchego cheese, add parsley to taste, and bake for 15 minutes at 180 °C, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot.
