This vibrant vegetarian dish, known traditionally as Papadzules, offers a sophisticated take on stuffed tortillas that is both comforting and deeply savoury. The recipe features soft corn tortillas filled with a delicate mixture of hard-boiled eggs and tender courgettes, all brought together by two distinct sauces. A creamy, nutty pumpkin seed sauce provides a rich base, while a spicy charred tomato salsa adds a bright, piquant finish that cuts through the earthiness of the seeds.
Perfect for a weekend lunch or an impressive meat-free dinner, these tortillas are a wonderful way to explore authentic Yucatecan flavours at home. The combination of textures—from the smooth, velvety sauces to the crunch of toasted pumpkin seeds—makes this a truly satisfying meal. Serve them hot from the oven with a extra drizzle of pumpkin seed oil for a touch of homemade luxury.

How to make Stuffed Tortillas with Two Sauces
Voltar ao conteúdoPreheat grill.
Toss tomatoes with 1 tablespoon oil in a shallow baking pan and grill 4 to 5 inches from heat, turning once, until softened and skins are charred in spots, 15 to 20 minutes total.
Blend tomatoes, water, onion, garlic, vinegar, chilli, and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth (use caution with hot liquids).
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium- high heat until it shimmers, then add sauce and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
Toast pumpkin seeds in a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until all seeds have expanded but are still green, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
Coarsely chop 60ml pumpkin seeds and set aside. Bring water, epazote, onion, garlic, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Blend this mixture with remaining 250g pumpkin seeds in 2 batches in cleaned blender until smooth (use caution with hot liquids), about 5 minutes, transferring to a heavy medium saucepan. Season with salt.
Cook courgette and onion in 2 tablespoons oil in heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper, then remove from heat. Add eggs, gently tossing to combine.
Heat remaining cup oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then soft-fry tortillas, 1 at a time, turning over once with tongs, until softened (not crisp or browned), 5 to 10 seconds. Transfer to paper towels to drain, blotting both sides, then stack tortillas to keep moist.
Preheat oven to 177°C with rack in middle. 3Working with 1 tortilla at a time, dip in pumpkin-seed sauce to coat both sides, then transfer to a plate. Spoon 2 to 45ml egg filling down middle of tortilla, then roll up and arrange in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish.
Cover with foil and bake until heated thourough, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, reheat sauces over low heat, stirring pumpkin-seed sauce frequently, just until hot. (Thin pumpkin-seed sauce with water if very thick.)
Top papadzules with pumpkin-seed sauce. Sprinkle with chopped pumpkin seeds and serve tomato sauce on the side.
