Ingredients

12 Corn Tortillas

2 cups of cooked and shredded chicken

1/2 cup of chopped onion

1/4 cup of chopped cilantro

1/4 cup of olive oil

3 tablespoons of achiote paste

2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup of crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese

1/2 cup of pumpkin seed sauce

Directions

Place the seeds in a large, dry cast-iron skillet. Turn the heat to high and wait a few minutes until you hear the seeds begin to pop. Immediately start vigorously and constantly stirring them with a wooden spoon or tossing them in the skillet. The seeds should inflate and change to a slightly richer green color in 2-3 minutes; do not allow them to brown. Immediately transfer the seeds to a colander or large sieve and shake vigorously to remove as much of the papery skin as possible. Allow the seeds to cool 4-5 minutes.
