Why they submitted this recipe: This is one of my daughter's favorite Guatemalan dishes that I learned from her Tia Rosa. She loves her Tia Rosa's cooking! She says that one day she is going to buy her a food truck so all can enjoy her delicious Guatemalan food. My Luna girl has a big heart!
Ingredients
- 10 whole corn tortillas
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 2 whole habanero peppers
- 3/4 of a white onion, finely chopped
- 1 lb. of queso fresco, crumbled
- 1/2 cup of cooking oil (olive, canola, vegetable, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon of pollo consommé
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or salt to taste)
- 3 cups of water
Directions
- Wash the tomatoes and habaneros, then place them in a medium pot with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Once done, set aside.
- Finely chop 3/4 to 1 whole onion and set aside.
- Crumble the queso fresco into a medium-sized bowl. Add the chopped onion and stir until thoroughly combined.
- In a medium-sized pan, pour in the oil and heat over low-medium heat.
- Place one tortilla in the pan at a time, flash frying each side for about 5-10 seconds, depending on the heat. The goal is for the tortilla to remain soft, not crispy.
- Remove each tortilla and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all 10 tortillas are flash fried.
- In a blender, puree the tomatoes, habaneros, boiled water, pollo consommé, and salt until smooth.
- On a plate, roll one of the fried tortillas with 3-4 tablespoons of the queso fresco and onion mixture in the center. Repeat this step until all 10 tortillas are rolled.
- Pour the tomato puree over the tortillas, making sure they are fully drenched. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of the queso fresco and onion mixture on top.
- Serve while warm and enjoy!
