A lighter take on the tradtional Mexican favorite

By Georgina del Ángel Cabrera Original Print Publication: April, 2007

Ingredients

Tortillas de maíz
1 kg red tomatoes
1 medium-sized white onion
Epazote (washed)
Green or cascabel chile (optional, to taste)
100 g queso panela
Shredded chicken

The day before they are to be served:

Cut tortillas into small triangles, cover with a paper napkin, and leave out overnight

Preparation:

Warm a Teflon pan on low heat. When hot, add a handful of the day-old tortilla pieces. Stirring occasionally, heat until they are crunchy like a tostada. Remove from heat and spread on a plate.

Salsa:

Mix the tomatoes, onion and chile in a pan on medium heat. When the vegetables are browned, drop them into a blender. Add a teaspoon of salt, 500 ml of water and blend. Put mixture in a pot, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and bring to a boil. Add a branch of epazote, cover and let boil for about 20 minutes.

To serve:

Cover the pieces of tortilla with queso panela and pour the hot salsa over top. Garnish with shredded chicken, onion slices and a little finely diced epazote.
