Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup refried black beans
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup vegan feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 0.25 cup radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
- to taste hot sauce
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add warm water while mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 2 minutes until smooth and pliable. If the dough feels dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape each portion into an oval about 1/4 inch thick. If needed, lightly sprinkle with more masa harina to prevent sticking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each huarache for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp. Add more oil as needed.
In the same skillet, warm the refried black beans until heated through.
Spread a layer of refried black beans over each cooked huarache.
Top with avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, radishes, jalapeño, cilantro, and crumbled vegan feta.
Serve immediately with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side for extra flavor.
