Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Salsa Molcajete

In a molcajete or bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, cilantro, finely chopped jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

2

Prep Oysters

Carefully shuck the oysters, keeping them in their half shells. Discard any broken shells and place the oysters on a baking tray or grill-safe surface.

Grilling

Grill Oysters

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the oysters on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the edges start to curl.

4

Add Toppings

Remove the oysters from the grill and top each one with a spoonful of Salsa Molcajete, some red onion, Chihuahua cheese, and a sprinkle of tortilla crumbs.

5

Finish Cooking

Return the oysters to the grill and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve

Carefully remove the oysters from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with extra salsa and lime wedges if desired.
