Method

  1. 1 Roast pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 4 minutes until they pop and puff up, let them cool completely before grinding.
  2. 2 Grind the pumpkin seeds into a fine powder, but stop before the seeds release their oil; if they do, the sauce will separate and become greasy.
  3. 3 Grill tomatoes with habanero peppers until the skins are charred, then peel and mash them.
  4. 4 Mix pumpkin seed powder with crushed tomatoes, add lemon juice, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  5. 5 Season with salt and add water spoonful by spoonful until it reaches a smooth consistency, then serve with crispy fried tortillas.
