Time 29m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large tomato, quartered
1 red onion, quartered
1 (12 ounce) package queso fresco, cut into chunks
12 thick corn tortillas
2 eggs, separated
5 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Combine tomato and red onion in a food processor; blend, slowly adding queso fresco, until a paste forms.
  • Fold corn tortillas in half and fill them with the tomato and red onion paste.
  • Beat egg whites in a bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Add egg yolks one by one, mixing thoroughly until blended into the egg whites.
  • Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip 1 filled tortilla into the egg mixture to coat both sides, letting excess drip back into the bowl. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and filled tortillas.
