Entomatadas
Report
Entomatadas are a deliciously light meal made from ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen!

Ingredients
- 5-6 plum tomatoes
- 1/2 onion
- 1/4 jalapeno (plus more to taste)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 cup stock (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- olive oil
- 6-8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup Queso Fresco cheese (or your cheese of choice)
- Mexican crema
- cilantro for garnish (optional)
- Cotija cheese for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Start by rinsing and de-stemming the tomatoes. Roast them in a 400F oven for 20-25 minutes.
- Roughly chop the 1/2 onion and saute in some oil over medium heat. Add a peeled, whole garlic clove to the pan. Saute until the onion starts to brown and then add the mixture to a blender.
- Add the roasted tomatoes to the blender along with the onion mixture, 1/4 jalapeno, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Combine well. If you want more heat add another sliver of jalapeno.
- Add a dollop of oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomato mixture from the blender and simmer for a few minutes. You can optionally add 1/2 cup of stock at this point -- this will keep the sauce liquidy. Take a final taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary.
- Heat up the corn tortillas in the oven. You can alternatively give them a flash fry in some oil.
- Use tongs to give the tortillas a swim in the sauce. Add the coated tortillas to a plate and fill with cheese. Other good options for fillings: refried beans, raw onion, shredded chicken, or your protein of choice.
- Fold the tortillas (or roll them up) and coat them with plenty of the tomato sauce. You can optionally give them a few minutes in the oven to warm up.
- Top them with a sprinkling of Cotija cheese, Mexican Crema, and finely chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I like Entomatadas best when there is just a whisper of heat, but you can always raise the heat level if you want by adding additional slivers of jalapeno.
- Queso Fresco is a good option to fill the tortillas, but feel free to use your cheese of choice. I also topped this version with a few sprinkles of Cotija cheese.
