Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup refried beans
- 0.5 cups salsa verde
- 0.5 cups queso fresco, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.25 cups chopped onion
- 0.25 cups fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the masa harina and salt.
Gradually add the warm water to the masa harina, stirring until a smooth, pliable dough forms. If necessary, adjust the water quantity to achieve the right consistency.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Cook the huaraches one at a time for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Evenly spread a layer of refried beans over each cooked huarache.
Top the beans with salsa verde, queso fresco, shredded lettuce, a dollop of sour cream, chopped onion, and cilantro leaves.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your nut-free huaraches!
