Aztec cuisine was remarkably different from the modern food of Mexico. In this episode, Sohla El-Waylly harnesses those flavors to recreate Aztec tlahcos, which would eventually evolve into the tacos we know and love today. Plus, Sohla tries out an ancient Aztec recipe for xocolatl - a precursor to hot chocolate!
Recipe for Aztec Tlahcos and Xocolatl:
For the Tlahco Filling:
Ingredients:
1lb ground turkey
2 large tomatoes
1 onion
2-4 serrano peppers
2 poblano chilis
1 tablespoon dried epazote
pinch of salt if needed
1. Preheat a clay comal on the stove.
2. Core the tomatoes & peppers. Slice the onion into large chunks.
3. Lay the vegetables on the clay comal. Turn them every so often with tongs until they become soft and charred blacked spots start to form.
4. Once they become soft, chop veggies & add them to a cast iron pan or break them up directly in the pan with a wooden spoon.
5. Bring the cast iron pan filled with veggies up to medium heat. Add the turkey, epazote & salt. Continue cooking & breaking things up until the turkey is cooked through.
For the Tortillas:
Ingredients:
2 cups masa harina
2 cups water
1 teaspoon of salt
1. Mix together salt & masa.
2. Gradually add the water, stirring it in as you add.
3. Once the dough has formed, knead it with your hands for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
4. Cover the dough with a towel & let rest for 10 minutes
5. Use your hands to create balls from the dough. Insert balls into a tortilla press or press with your hands.
6. Put tortillas on the clay comal on medium heat. Cook for about a minute per side flipping it once speckled brown spots appear.
For the Xocolatl:
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups Water
1 green chile pepper, sliced but with the seeds
1/8 cup of Mexican drinking chocolate or cocoa powder
1/2 a vanilla bean
1. Put the water in a pot with the sliced green chile pepper & bring to a boil. Boil for 5-10 minutes
2. Strain to remove the chile & seeds. Return water to the pot.
3. Remove the inside of the vanilla bean. Stir in the vanilla as you bring it to a boil again.
4. Once boiling, bring down to medium heat & add the drinking chocolate or cocoa powder. Heat & continuously stir for 5 minutes.
5. Let it cool a bit. Get another pot. Pour the chocolate mixture from one pot to the other to create a froth. This should be done from as high as possible.
