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
• 0 to taste hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add warm water while mixing until a dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough for about 2 minutes until smooth and pliable. If the dough feels dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In the same skillet, warm the refried black beans until heated through.

Step 6

Spread a layer of refried black beans over each cooked huarache.

Step 7

Top with avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, radishes, jalapeño, cilantro, and crumbled vegan feta.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side for extra flavor.
