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
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Pepper

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Spread a layer of refried beans over each fried masa disk.

Step 6

Top with queso fresco, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced avocado, and radish slices.

Step 7

Season the huaraches with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Serve the huaraches with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
