Mexican Huaraches Recipe - La Cooquette

masa harina

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: corn flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while corn flour is more accessible.

refried beans

🥗Healthier: black beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Black beans are lower in fat and canned beans save time.

queso fresco

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Feta provides a similar texture with fewer calories.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and adds protein.

Mix corn flour, all purpose flour, and salt in a bowl.

Gradually add warm water until the dough reaches the desired consistency.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into an oval.

Flatten each oval into a thick disc using your hands or a tortilla press.

Heat oil in a skillet or comal over medium heat until shimmering.

Cook each disc in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Remove from skillet and let cool slightly.

Spread a layer of smashed beans on each huarache base.

Top with your choice of meat.

Prepare green salsa by blending tomatillos, onion, poblano pepper, and garlic until smooth.

Drizzle salsa over the meat and beans.

Sprinkle with crumbled requesón or cheese.

Add slices of avocado and dollops of sour cream on top.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
