Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 whole sliced avocado
- 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup crumbled queso fresco
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 whole lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the masa harina and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add warm water to the masa mixture, mixing with your hands or a spatula until a dough forms. The dough should not be sticky. If it’s too dry, add a bit more water, a tablespoon at a time.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin to shape it into an oval, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a touch of vegetable oil.
Step 5
Cook each huarache for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it has a light golden color and is cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the huaraches from the griddle and spread about 2 tablespoons of cooked black beans on top of each one.
Step 7
Heat a bit more oil in the same pan and lightly cook the huaraches for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the beans to warm through.
Step 8
Transfer the huaraches to serving plates. Top each one with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of cilantro, a spoonful of crumbled queso fresco, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
