Steps
- 1Begin by preheating the broiler. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with heavy-duty foil. Arrange the tomatoes closely on the prepared baking sheet. Broil them near the heat source until they develop blackened spots, using tongs to turn them over after about 2 minutes per side. Once done, transfer the tomatoes to a plate to cool down. Next, place the onion halves closely together on the same baking sheet. Broil them until their surfaces are charred, turning them over once using tongs, which should take approximately 4 minutes per side. Allow the onions to cool before proceeding further with your recipe.
- 2Begin by heating a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Once hot, add the cinnamon strip, peppercorns, garlic cloves, and jalapeño chili using tongs. Toast them in the skillet until they become fragrant and slightly charred, remembering to turn and stir occasionally. This should take about 2 minutes for the cinnamon and peppercorns, while the garlic and jalapeño will need around 8 minutes. After toasting, transfer all the ingredients to a plate. In the same skillet, place the tortilla halves and toast them until they are browned in some areas and crispy. Press down on them with a spatula frequently during cooking; this should take about 3 minutes per side. Once toasted, transfer the tortillas to a plate to cool down before breaking them into very small pieces.
