Steps:
- Fill a cup with ice and water. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Cut in the shortening to make pea-size pieces. Add the tablespoons of ice water from the cup until dough holds together. Form the dough into a ball. The dough is now complete. Put it into a plastic bag or wrap it up and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Cut the shells using a large glass or your smallest pot. You should have about 12 shells when finished. Put these shells into a greased muffin or tart pan.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
- Put walnuts and coconut on baking pan and roast for 5-10 minutes, until brown. Remove from oven and set temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Fill the bottom of each tart shell with about 10 raisins each.
- Whisk together sugar, egg, butter, vanilla and hot water. Add coconut and walnuts. Pour mixture into tart shells, filling 2/3 full and no more.
- Bake in 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before attempting to remove. Makes 12 tarts.

Steps:
- *Cook's Note: If using a Good Eats tortilla recipe, decrease milk to 1/3 cup.
- Tear the tortillas into small pieces and place in a food processor. Add the milk, egg, salt and pepper. Process until a chunky paste forms and you are able to squeeze a ball together in your hand, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in the onions and jalapenos. Set aside.
- Place the oil into a 5-quart pot or Dutch oven and heat to 365 to 375 degrees F.
- Roll the dough into 1 to 1 1/2-inch balls or scoop with a small, 2-teaspoon ice cream scoop. Fry 6 to 8 at a time in the oil until crisp and golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack set over a sheet pan and allow to cool 1 to 2 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- For the picadas: With your hands, work the salt into the masa.
- Shape it into 20 to 22 walnut-size balls.
- Press them into rounds about 3 inches across and 1/8-inch thick.
- Set them side by side (not stacked) on baking sheets as they are shaped, covering them with a damp cloth.
- Lightly grease a griddle or large cast-iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact.
- Have ready a basket lined with tea towels.
- Now you must work quickly, because the masa will be supple enough to shape for only a few seconds after baking.
- Place 2 of the prepared masa rounds on the hot griddle and cook for about 1 1/2 minutes, until the edges shrink away slightly from the pan and lose their raw look.
- Turn and cook the other side for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes more.
- Transfer to a plate or work surface and, while they're still hot, quickly pinch up the edges of each into a slightly raised rim.
- Place them in the basket and cover snugly with the towels.
- Continue with the remaining masa rounds, 2 at a time.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- In a small skillet or saucepan, heat the lard or shortening over medium heat until hot but not quite rippling.
- Using kitchen tongs, slide each picada into the hot fat and let it cook for 10 to 20 seconds.
- Before it starts to brown, lift out, letting it drain well, and set on the prepared baking sheet.
- When all the picadas are done, layer them with guacamole, cooked chicken and salsa.
- Scatter some of the grated cheese over the sauce, top with some chopped onion, if desired, and serve.

FRESH MASA CORN TORTILLAS
Steps:
- Knead the masa, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/3 cup water in a large bowl with your hands until well incorporated and the masa is soft and pliable but doesn't stick to your hands, about 4 minutes. If the masa is still dry or crumbly, add a tablespoon or two more water and continue to mix.
- Cut and remove the zip top from a gallon freezer bag. Cut the two sides of the bag leaving the bottom intact so that the bag can open and close like a book. If using a tortilla press, trim the cut sides of the bag to fit the flat surface of the tortilla press. (If you don't have a tortilla press, you can use a smooth-bottomed 10-inch skillet to press and flatten the tortillas. Use the plastic in the same way you would use with the press except place it between the countertop or work surface and the bottom of the skillet.)
- Divide the dough into 12 balls about 1/4 cup each (or 54g.). Arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet and keep covered with a damp kitchen towel until ready to use.
- Heat a medium cast-iron skillet or large griddle over medium-high heat.
- Place the prepared plastic bag inside the press so that the folded side of the bag is on the hinged side of the press. Working with one dough ball at a time, open the press and the top side of the bag and place a ball in the center of the press. Fold the bag over the ball and gently press, holding a steady, firm pressure for a few seconds to flatten the ball to a 7-inch round. Open the press and peel the top bag from the dough. Place the dough on your open palm and peel off the remaining plastic.
- Brush the preheated pan with vegetable oil. Working with one at a time (unless using a large griddle), cook the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side, flipping 3 times, until just starting to brown in spots, 90 seconds total. Stack and wrap the tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and keep warm. Repeat pressing and cooking the remaining dough balls.
- Serve the tortillas warm.

Steps:
- Toss together cheese, beans, pork rind, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl with your hands, then press mixture firmly into 16 (1 1/2-inch) balls (for filling).
- Combine tortilla flour, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and knead with your hands until a uniform dough forms, about 1 minute. (Dough should be moist but not sticky. If necessary, knead a little more tortilla flour or water into dough.)
- Flatten 1/4 cup dough between moistened palms into a 4-inch disk. Wrap disk around a ball of filling, enclosing it, and form into a smooth ball. Reflatten between your palms into a 4-inch disk (1/2 inch thick; filling should remain hidden). Put on a tray lined with plastic wrap and cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying. Make 15 more pupusas.
- Heat a comal or large (2-burner) griddle over medium-low heat until hot, at least 2 minutes. Brush lightly with oil, then cook pupusas in batches, turning and pressing lightly with a metal spatula every 2 to 3 minutes, until crusty and browned in spots (some cheese may ooze out), 10 to 12 minutes total per batch. Serve immediately.

COCONUT CREAM TARTS
Steps:
- Adjust oven racks to lowest and lower-middle positions, and heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray 48 mini-muffin cups with vegetable cooking spray.
- Mix 1/2 cup of the sugar and graham cracker crumbs in a small bowl. Working in 4 batches, lay 12 cut egg roll wrap squares on work surface. Brush wrappers with melted butter on both sides, and roll each piece in the graham cracker mixture to coat, shaking off excess. Use fingers to fit wrappers in prepared muffin tins to form a cup.
- Place 2 muffin tins each on oven racks and bake, switching tin positions after 10 minutes, until golden and crisp, 15 to 18 minutes. Immediately remove tarts from tins and place on a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining wraps. (Cooled tart shells can be stored in an airtight tin for up to 1 week.)
- Scatter coconut in an 8-inch baking pan. Bake on lower-middle rack, stirring every 5 minutes until evenly golden brown, about 15 minutes. For the filling, whisk cornstarch and remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Whisk in yolks, immediately followed by the milks. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently at first, then constantly as mixture starts to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute longer. Stir in vanilla, remaining 2 Tbs. of butter and 1/2 cup of the toasted coconut. Put plastic wrap directly over the surface to prevent a skin from forming, let cool, then refrigerate. (Filling can be refrigerated up to 2 days.)
- When ready to assemble, arrange tart shells on a serving tray. Spoon a tablespoon of filling into each shell, sprinkle with toasted coconut, and serve.

CORN TORTILLAS
Instead of making masa with masa harina and water, you can often buy fresh masa in Mexican grocery stores. These are so much better than store bought tortillas, but take a bit of practice to get the process right.

Steps:
- Please note: the difference between ¼ cup and 1/3 cup, while only 4 teaspoons, can be critical.
- Mix the Masa Harina and the water; knead to form your masa (dough).
- Pinch off a golf-ball sized piece of masa and roll it into a ball.
- Set the masa on a piece of plastic in the tortilla press; cover with another piece of plastic.
- Press the masa.
- Transfer the tortilla to a hot, dry cast iron skillet.
- Cook for about 30 seconds on one side; gently turn.
- Cook for about 60 seconds (it should puff slightly); turn back to the first side Cook for another 30 seconds on the first side Remove and keep the tortilla warm.
- Notes: When mixing the masa, mix all the Masa Harina with 1-¼ cup of the water.
- You can work it with your hands, if you like.
- If it seems too dry, add additional water, a teaspoon at a time.
- Too much water, and you wont be able to peel the plastic off the tortilla; too little and your tortilla will be dry and crumbly.
- Unlike pastry dough, masa does not suffer from being over-handled.
- The masa will dry out quickly.
- Keep it covered with a piece of plastic wrap while making your tortillas.
- Cut up sandwich or freezer bags (best) work better than the flimsier plastic wrap or waxed paper.
- Hold the pressed tortilla (with the plastic on both sides) in one hand.
- Peel away the top plastic from the tortilla (not the tortilla from the plastic).
- Flip it over into your other hand, and peel away the other piece of plastic.
- Gently place the tortilla on the hot skillet or griddle.
- It should make a soft sizzling sound when you do.
- If your tortillas are not perfect circles, dont worry; they will still taste wonderful.
- If your skillet or griddle is at the right temperature, a tortilla can be cooked in no more than 2 minutes.
- The use of cast-iron skillet is important.
- You are cooking at high heat on a dry surface, and a lighter-weight utensil could warp.
- Brown spots on your tortillas are good.
- Put your hot tortillas in an aluminum foil pouch wrapped in a kitchen towel or napkin.
- You want them to stay hot and tender.
- Corn tortillas can be made 2 hours in advance, wrapped and reheated.
- Bake, in a 350°F oven for about 12 minutes.

Steps:
- Prepare Custard Filling:.
- Note: Reserve a small amount of minced peppers for garnish.
- Preheat oven to 350°F Cut heads of garlic in half horizontally and place cut side up in a roasting pan. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over each half. Sprinkle pan with 2 to 3 tablespoons water, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Using an electric mixer, combine masa and shortening.
- Add salt and powdered chile and mix again. Add chicken stock in 3 batches, mixing well with a spoon after each addition. Dough should be a thick paste; add more masa if too thin.
- Using your fingers or a small spoon, press dough 1/8 inch thick into each cup of muffin tin.
- Assemble Tarts:.
- Ladle custard to just under rim. Bake in a water bath for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
