1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup  Oaxaca cheese (or any other melting cheese shredded)

1. Remove the steam from the flower, place flowers in cold water and gentle rinse. Place over paper towels to absorbed excess water.

2. Heat oil in a skillet over a medium high heat. Add onion, garlic, and serrano pepper if using. Tossing until onion looks translucent, about 3 minutes. Add Blossoms and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing until blossoms are heated through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Epazote. Slightly cool before using.

3. Place fillings in each tortilla, fold and proceed to cook in the griddle.

Mexican VEGETARIAN Tostada Recipe


Yield: Serves 4-6

This recipe details how to fry up corn tortillas to make the tostada shells.

Ingredients

Grapeseed oil, canola, or other high smoke-point cooking oil
12 LA PRIMERA TRADITIONAL corn tortillas
Salt
Refried beans 
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, sliced thin and seasoned with salt and vinegar (no oil)
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1-2 chopped peeled and pitted avocados or guacamole
8 ounces grated Monterrey Jack, Cheddar, or crumbled queso fresco and/or cotija cheese
1 cup of Salsa or 1/2 cup sliced pickled jalapeños
A handful of chopped fresh cilantro

1. Heat refried beans in a frying pan, until warm. If you are using regular canned beans, drain them, then add them to the pan with a little water, mash them as you heat them. For extra flavor for the beans you can stir in a tablespoon of bacon fat to them and/or a big slice of cheddar cheese. Keep the beans on warm while you prepare the tortillas, adding water to them as necessary to keep a creamy consistency.

2. Optional pre-frying step: to help the tortillas fry up better, dry them in the oven by laying them out on an oven rack and cooking them at 250°F for 10 minutes or so. Pour enough oil into a frying pan so that you have a quarter inch layer of oil. Heat the oil on medium high heat until sizzling hot, but not smoking. One at a time, fry the tortillas in the oil. Bubbles should form in the tortilla immediately as you put the tortilla in the oil, otherwise the oil is not hot enough. Fry until golden brown on both sides, cooking about 30 seconds to a minute per side. Use metal tongs or a spatula to push the tortilla down in the oil, and to turn and lift the tortilla out of the pan, draining the excess oil as you do so. (The tortilla should be fairly stiff and crisp. If not, the oil is not hot enough.) Place the tortilla on a paper towel-lined plate, to absorb the excess oil. Sprinkle with a little salt. Put the cooked tortillas on a rimmed baking sheet and place in a 250°F oven to keep warm.

Add more oil to the pan as needed, taking care that the oil heats sufficiently before adding a tortilla to the pan.

3 To serve, place toppings in separate bowls, with a larger serving dish for the beans. Bring out the tostada shells in batches, keeping those unused warm in the oven. To prepare one's tostada, spread a large spoonful of mashed beans over a tostada shell. Sprinkle on cheese and other toppings (sliced lettuce, avocados, salsa, etc.) Don't load the tostada too much or you'll find it difficult to eat. Eat by picking up the tostada with both hands (like a pizza slice).

​SOPES
INGREDIENTS FOR 25 SOPES:

FOR THE DOUGH
10 lb bag of LA PRIMERA  MASA PARA TAMALES REGULAR

TOPPINGS
 4 tablespoons vegetable oil or lard
1 cup refried beans
2 cups lettuce, finely shredded
1-1/2 cup cooked beef or chicken, shredded
1/2 cup Mexican cheese (queso fresco) crumbled
1/4 cup white onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup Mexican cream
Spicy salsa of you choice

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
1/3 cup radishes, thinly sliced
1 avocado, sliced or diced
1/2 cup of tomato, diced or sliced
Pickled jalapeños and carrots.

NOTES:
If you can’t find Mexican queso fresco or Mexican cream, you can do the following: Substitute the Mexican cheese with feta cheese and even parmesan cheese. For the cream, mix equal amounts of sour cream and heavy cream with a pinch of salt.
Making Sopes require certain amount of time and preparation, that's why is better to make them when you have some leftovers in your fridge, like  refried beans and beef or chicken from a stew; that way you will have some of the ingredients ready.
You will need a plastic bag like the ones used to store food in the freezer (to form the sopes), a griddle-comal, a tortilla press or a glass pie dish in case you don’t have a tortilla press (please look picture below).

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If the dough feels dry, add a bit of water, little by little, spoon by spoon, until the dough is soft and manageable, like play dough. It doesn't have to be sticky. Sometimes, if we live in a place with lots of humidity in the environment our dough won’t need to much water. But if that is not your case, make sure the dough has enough moisture to avoid any cracking on the sope surfaces. Now, cover the dough with a wet kitchen towel, this will help to keep the dough moist. Always keep a small bowl of water next to your working area to keep your hands and dough moisten.
 2. Divide the dough into 25 pieces of the same size, cover with the kitchen towel.
3. Heat the griddle to medium high heat.
4. To form the sopes, cut the plastic bag into 2 squares of about 6-IN each. Place one piece of plastic on the Tortilla press, then put down one of the small balls of dough and cover with the other piece of plastic, close the tortillera and press down gently with the tortilla press handle until you form a medium size thick tortilla. of about 4-1/2 inches. 
5. Lift the handle and remove the top plastic. Pick up the tortilla, holding with the plastic at the bottom, gently flip the tortilla to unto the palm of your hand. A large part of the tortilla will cover your hand.
If you don’t have a Tortilla Press, use a glass pie dish to press down the dough; I use it all the time and it works wonderfully.
6.  Place the tortilla on the already hot griddle-comal, this is a fast but gentle move. Turn the tortilla after a minute, don’t the it cook longer or the dough will dry and crack. Turn again after a minute, and the last cooking will take about 20-30 seconds. Remove from the griddle with the help of a spatula. Cover the tortillas with a dry kitchen towel and allow to cool for about 30-45 seconds, and start forming the border pinching the edges with your fingers. Now, the tortillas had become sopes, cover again with the kitchen towel and keep cooking the rest of the sopes.

TO SERVE THE SOPES:
1. Heat the oil or lard in a skillet or griddle at medium heat. Place the sopes on the skillet and lightly fry them on both sides (about 30 seconds each side will be enough time to fry them and give them a little golden color). Remove from the heat and place on a plate that has already being covered with paper towels to absorb any excess fat.
2. Now is time to spread the refried beans, top with shredded lettuce, beef, chicken, or any other topping of your choice. Serve with salsa and enjoy your delicious sopes with LA PRIMERA!

Yield:4 servings
Level:Intermediate

 
Ingredients
1 pound Mexican chorizo, removed from casings and crumbled
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups cooked pinto beans
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Water

Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish


Directions
In a large skillet, cook the chorizo, garlic, and cumin, stirring, over medium-high heat until the sausage is browned and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. To the fat in the pan, add the pinto beans, chili powder, salt, and 1 to 1 1/2 cups water (depending on the moisture in the beans). Cook over medium heat until warmed through, smashing with the back of a heavy wooden spoon or potato masher until chunky/smooth. Remove from the heat.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
On a large, oval ovenproof platter or in a large baking dish, spread 1 layer of chips. Top with a layer of 1/2 of the beans, then 1/2 of the sausage, cheeses, onion rings, and chopped jalapenos. Repeat with another layer of chips, beans, sausage, cheese, onions and jalapenos. Bake until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is hot, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and lime juice, with a pinch of salt. Drizzle over the nachos, garnish with cilantro, and serve immediately.
