Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Masa harina
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Queso fresco
- 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
- 1 large Tomato, diced
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 3 medium Radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the masa harina, warm water, and salt. Mix together until a soft dough forms, adding a bit more water if necessary. The dough should be moist but not sticky.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it out with your hands to form an oval-shaped disk about 1/4-inch thick.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place each masa disk onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the vegetable oil. Once hot, return the masa disks to the skillet and lightly fry each side for an additional 1-2 minutes until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Spread a layer of refried beans over each fried masa disk.
Top with queso fresco, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced avocado, and radish slices.
Season the huaraches with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the huaraches with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
