Does anyone know of a mexican restaurant that serves empanadas with huitlacoche and flor de cabeza. I found a place four years ago somewhere up north, but can’t remember what it was called or exactly where it was.

I made the Migas Camperas de la Abuela de Jesus (Grandmother’s Bread Bits With Peppers, Chorizo and Sun-Dried Tomatoes, page 150) last night. As usual, I didn’t notice some of the ingredients until too late and had to...
