Method

Preparing the Tortillas

Make the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine Maseca, water, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If too dry, add more water, a tablespoon at a time.

Form the Tortillas

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a tortilla shape using a tortilla press or rolling pin.

Cook the Tortillas

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep warm.

Preparing the Filling

Sauté the Filling

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped chanterelles and ramps. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Making Sikil Pak

Blend the Ingredients

In a blender, combine the toasted pumpkin seeds, roasted tomato, roasted habanero, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to achieve a dip-like consistency.

Assembling the Tacos

Fill the Tortillas

Place a generous amount of the sautéed chanterelles and ramps onto one half of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling.

Serve

Serve the tacos warm with a side of sikil pak for dipping.
