In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina, salt, and warm water. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. It should be moist but not sticky; if necessary, add a little more water or masa harina to get the right consistency.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thick oval shape using your hands or a tortilla press lined with plastic wrap. These should be about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the flattened huaraches on the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked black beans and season with salt and pepper. Mash the beans with a fork or potato masher to create a rough puree. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spread the mashed black beans evenly over each huarache.
Top with diced tomato, chopped red onion, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro. Optionally, sprinkle with dairy-free cheese.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the huaraches immediately, while warm.
