Miami's Baleada Recipe Part 3 (Final)

refried beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans save time and cost, while black beans offer a nutritious alternative.

cheese

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Feta provides a tangy flavor with fewer calories.

cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with less fat.

hot sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa

💰Cheaper: homemade hot sauce

Salsa can be fresher and lower in sodium.

Mix flour, water, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into balls.

Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each disc for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Spread refried beans on one half of each cooked disc.

Sprinkle cheese over the beans and add cream on top.

Fold the disc in half to enclose the filling.

Serve warm with avocado, hot sauce, onion, cilantro, and lime on the side.
