- In a bowl, add the corn masa flour. Add a good pinch of salt then add most the water, leaving about 1/4 out. Mix with your hands then add in the remaining water and really bring the masa together using your hands. Will be slightly sticky….shouldn’t be dry! If so add a splash more of water.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes and prep salsa verde.
- Prep your tortilla press with plastic. I think a large zip lock cut is the best but if not parchment paper can work too.
- Also prep a deep pan with 1-2 inches of avocado oil (or any high heat oil). Over medium heat.
- Begin to roll your tortillas into golf size balls. Place masa ball to the bottom of tortilla press on one of the pieces of plastic. Then cover with the other plastic and gently press to flatten,
- Remove tortilla and place on another piece of plastic and repeat making another tortilla.
- On the 2nd one add 4 sections of vegan cheese Then cover with the other tortilla.
- Press down on the edges to seal then cut into 4 triangles and gently press again.
- Add stuffed tortilla chips to the hot oil cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden.
- Place the stuffed tortilla chips on a plate lined with paper towels and sprinkle over salt. Assemble chilaquiles by adding as many chips as you want to your plate, pouring salsa over top (make sure salsa is warm - hot), top with cashew crema, cheese, cilantro & avocado!
