Charred* Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Ash Tortillas

   In a mixing bowl, combine corn flour and salt. Gradually add water while kneading until a smooth dough forms. Divide the dough into small balls and flatten each ball into a tortilla shape. Cook each tortilla on a hot, dry skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly charred. Keep warm.

2. 2

   Char the Scallions and Habanero

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions and sear until charred, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Carefully add the habanero pepper and char for 1-2 minutes on all sides. Remove and let cool.

3. 3

   Roast the Garlic

   Wrap the garlic head in aluminum foil and roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 30 minutes until soft. Once cool, squeeze out the roasted garlic into a bowl and mash it.

4. 4

   Prep the Vegetables

   Dice the tomatoes and avocado. Chop the cilantro. Combine all in a bowl with the roasted garlic and mix gently.

5. 5

   Assemble the Charred Dish

   On each tortilla, layer the charred scallions, the mixture of tomato, avocado, garlic, and cilantro. Slice the charred habanero and place on top. Serve immediately.
