Yucatán Egg-Stuffed Tortillas with Pumpkin Seed Sauce image

Number Of Ingredients 10

Yucatán Tomato Sauce
1 1/4 cups raw shelled pumpkin seeds
corn oil, safflower or canola oil for frying
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic (medium), finely chopped
10 to 12 , fresh epazote, leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried epazote
1 , habanero or serrano chile kimmy, , seeded and veins removed (wear protective gloves)
1 3/4 cups canned fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 hard-cooked large eggs, peeled and chopped
8 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the tomato sauce. Then, in a large dry skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds, stirring, until aromatic, starting to brown, and popping around in the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve on a plate to cool. 2. In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat and cook the onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Transfer to a blender. (Save the skillet for later use.) 3. To the blender, add the reserved pumpkin seeds, epazote, chile, and 1/2 cup of the broth. Process to a thick paste. Add the remaining chicken broth, a little at a time, blending after each addition to a thick smooth sauce. Transfer the sauce to a medium nonstick skillet and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until it simmers, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not boil, or the sauce might curdle. (If it does, blend again.) Cover and reserve in the pan, off heat. 4. Reheat the tomato sauce. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil, and soften the tortillas, 1 at a time on both sides until warm and limp. Stack on a plate. To assemble, dip each tortilla in the pumpkin seed sauce to coat both sides. Lay the coated tortilla on a plate. Put a small portion of the chopped egg along the center of each tortilla, roll, and lay seam side down on a warm platter. Repeat until all are dipped, filled, and rolled. To serve, put 2 stuffed tortillas on each of 4 plates. Top with heated tomato sauce. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
