Instructions
Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, mix masa harina, warm water, and salt until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Shape the huaraches: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Cook the huaraches: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook each huarache for 3-4 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Top with beans: Spread a layer of refried beans on each huarache while still warm.
Add toppings: Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco, chopped onion, and cilantro over the beans.
Serve with salsa: Drizzle salsa verde over the top and serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
- Dough Consistency: If the dough feels dry, add a little more water. If too sticky, add more masa harina.
- Topping Variations: Try adding shredded chicken, chorizo, or avocado for extra flavor.
- Cooking Tip: For crispier huaraches, cook them a bit longer on each side.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of Mexican crema for added richness.
- Storage: Leftover huaraches can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in a skillet.
