Main Ingredients

Lime Crema

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Lime Crema

    In a bowl, combine sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beef

    In a separate bowl, mix the finely chopped beef tenderloin with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to marinate.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Egg Yolk Jam

    In a small saucepan over low heat, gently heat the egg yolks, stirring continuously until they thicken and become a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Masa Azul

    Divide the masa azul into small disks and flatten them into tortillas. Cook on a hot griddle for about 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly charred.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Carne Cruda Tart

    On each tortilla, layer the marinated beef, followed by a dollop of lime crema, a spoonful of egg yolk jam, and sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese on top. Serve immediately.
