Chapter 8: August

​

1/4 kilo ground beef
1/4 kilo ground pork
200 grams walnuts
200 grams almonds
1 onion
1 candies citron
2 tomatoes
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 cup cream
1/4 kilo queso manchego
1/4 cup mole
cumin
chicken stock
corn tortillas
oil

​

The onion is finely chopped and fried in a little oil wit the meat. While it is frying, the cumin and a tablespoon of sugar is added.



When the meat starts to brown, the chopped tomato is added, along with the citron, the walnuts, and the almonds, cut into small pieces.



After the meat has been cooked and drained, the next step is to fry the tortillas in oil, lightly, so they don't get hard.



In the dish destined for the oven, spread a layer of cream so the other ingredients don't stick, a layer of tortillas, and over these, a layer of meat mixture, and finally, the mole, covering it with the sliced cheese, and the cream.

​

Repeat the process as many times as necessary until the pan is filled. Put the pan in the oven and bake until the cheese melts and the tortillas are softened. Serve with rice and beans.
