Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- 0.5 cup crumbled queso fresco
- 1 sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 4 lime wedges
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add the warm water while mixing until dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten to form an elongated oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each huarache for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside on a platter.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the cooked black beans and mash them gently with the back of a spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Spread a portion of the refried black beans mixture on each huarache.
Top with chopped tomatoes, lettuce, crumbled queso fresco, and sliced avocado.
Drizzle sour cream on top and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
