Huitlacoche Enfrijoladas Corn Truffle And Black Bean Tortillas Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and epazote and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir corn truffles into onion mixture; cook and stir until truffle liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and keep warm.
• Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot. Moisten both sides of two tortillas with water and place them, stacked together, onto the hot griddle; cook until the bottom tortilla is crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip the stacked tortillas and cook the other tortilla until crisp, about 2 minutes. Separate the two tortillas; place them separately, uncooked side down, onto the hot griddle. Cover the crisp side of one tortilla with 1/5 of the Oaxaca cheese; place 1/5 of the corn truffle mixture over the cheese, then lay the crisp side of the second tortilla on top to cover the truffle mix.
• Cook, turning once, until both tortillas are crisp and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes; repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, and corn truffle mixture. Cut each quesadilla into four wedges to serve.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a bowl and form a dough.
• Take a handful of masa and make tortillas in your tortilla press.
• Cook on a teflon protected skillet or grill on both sides.

Steps:

• To make tortillas: Combine tortilla flour and water in a large bowl and knead with your hands until a uniform dough forms, about 1 minute.
• Pinch off enough dough to form a 3/4" ball. (Dough should be moist but not sticky when formed into a ball. If necessary, knead a little more tortilla flour or water into dough.)
• Form remaining dough into 3/4-inch balls, transfer to a plate, and cover with plastic wrap until needed to prevent drying out.
• Very lightly oil comal (griddle or pizza pan), then heat over medium-high heat until hot, about 2 minutes.
• Press 1 ball of dough between plastic squares in tortilla press to form a 3-inch tortilla (about 1/16 inch thick).
• Peel off 1 plastic square, then, holding tortilla in your palm, carefully peel off other square and gently transfer tortilla to comal/griddle.
• Cook until edges just loosen from comal and small brown spots appear on underside, 30 to 45 seconds.
• Turn over and cook, pressing flat with a metal spatula if necessary, until brown spots appear on underside, about 45 seconds.
• Turn over again and cook, pressing down with spatula, until tortilla inflates slightly (this may not always happen), 10 to 15 seconds.
• Wrap tortilla in folded tea towel to keep warm and moist.
• Make more tortillas, stacking them in the tea towel.
• Make topping: Heat lard in a large skillet; cook garlic, chili, and 1/2 cup onion until softened, about 3 minutes.
• Add huitlacoche and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until heated through (about 5 minutes).
• Assemble chalupas in batches just before serving: Warm remaining 2 tablespoons lard (if using) to liquefy.
• Heat comal/griddle (or pizza pan) over medium heat until hot; heat 8 mini tortillas, brushing tops lightly with some of lard (about 3/4 teaspoon each).
• While heating tortillas (1 to 2 minutes total), top each with about 1/2 teaspoon salsa, a sprinkling of reserved raw onion, and a rounded teaspoon huitlacoche mixture.
• Transfer chalupas to a platter, then sprinkle with queso fresco and serve immediately.
• Keep griddle warm and repeat procedure when ready to serve the next batch of chalupas.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan.
• Add the onion and garlic and fry gently until translucent - about 3 minutes.
• Add the poblano strips and fry for an additional minute.
• Add the huitlacoche and salt, cover the pan and cook over medium heat, shaking the pan from time to time for about 15 minutes.
• The fungus should be tender, retaining some moisture, but not soft and mushy.
• Stir in the epazote and cook uncovered for another 2 minutes.
• NOTE: If the huitlacoche is too dry, sprinkle on 1/4 cup water before covering; if it is too juicy, remove the lid before the end of the cooking time and reduce liquid over higher heat.

Steps:

• For the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and cook the sliced onion, stirring often, until rich golden brown.
• Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
• Dice and add the carrots, and continue cooking, adding a touch of water or stock as need.
• Add huitlacoche and mushrooms to the pan and cook for an additional five minutes or until mixture is relatively dry.
• For the sauce: Place the beans in a medium sauce pan with the oil, garlic, epazote and enough water to triple the depth of the beans.
• Simmer over medium heat until the beans are completely tender.
• Season generously with salt and set aside to cool at least half an hour.
• Blend the cooked beans and their cooking liquid with the chipotles and strain into a medium sauce pan.
• Add more liquid while blending as necessary.
• Slowly reheat the sauce as it will stick, and season with salt if needed.
• To assemble: Heat both the filling and the sauce.
• Roll approximately two heaping tablespoons of the filling into each tortilla and place on plates to serve.
• Coat the tortillas completely in the black bean sauce from end to end.
• Garnish the dish with a drizzling of the sour cream, a sprinkling of the cheese, and finish with radish slices.
