1

In a small saucepan, heat grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Add carrots, onion and Chile; cook, stirring often, until they begin to brown. Reduce heat to medium low and add tomato paste, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, cinnamon, paprika and garlic.

2

Cook, stirring often, until caramelized, around 5 to 7 minutes. Add lime juice and water, and cook until thickened, 1 minute, then remove from the heat. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and white pepper. Let cool.

3

In a small bowl, combine all the seed mix ingredients and toss to incorporate. Set aside.

4

In a small bowl, combine all the herb salad ingredients and toss to incorporate. Set aside.

5

Preheat oven to 450°. Heat a large cast-iron pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each tortilla with the grapeseed oil. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, grill, flipping once, until a little charred and firm, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a sheet pan and repeat with the other tortilla.

6

With both tortillas side by side on the sheet pan, divide the carrot salsa between the two, spreading to cover all but an outer ½-inch rim. Bake until the tortilla is firm and the edges are golden, 6 to 7 minutes.

7

Remove the tortillas from the oven, tear up the burrata into small pieces and divide it between the 2 tortillas. Return to the oven and bake until melted, 2 to 3 minutes more.

8

Transfer both tlayudas to a cutting board and top each with the seed mix and herb salad. Slice into wedges and serve.
