Oaxacan street food flavors that you won't want to miss.
INGREDIENTS
-
2 links chorizo (about 4 ounces each)
- 2 flour tortillas
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 16 ounce can pinto beans (or any kind of bean)
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese (or, even better, used smoked mozzarella)
- 1 avocado
- 2 teaspoons plus a pinch of dried ground cumin
- Nuetral oil
- Salt
PREP
- Prepare your cheese by pulling into strips and setting aside
RECIPE DIRECTIONS
- Place a pan over high heat and drizzle with oil.
- While you oil is warming chunk up your chorizo and rough chop the garlic.
- Toss a tortilla into the hot pan and fry for about 1 minute on the first side, flip, and fry 1 more minute. If it puffs up, smoosh the bubbles down with a spatula. Cook until well browned and firm. Remove from the pan and place on a plate.
- Fry up the second tortilla the same way, and place it on another plate.
- Add chorizo to the pan and season with salt.
- Once the chorizo is cooked, remove it from the pan, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Add the garlic to your pan and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the beans, with juices, to the garlic. Season with salt and stir to combine.
- While the beans are cooking, halve your avocado, and remove the pit. Scoop out the two halves, thinly slice, and set aside.
- Grab a tool to smash beans (whatever you’ve got). Smash the beans in the pan, stir them up, and add cumin.
- Place a clean pan over high heat for cheese melting.
- To build a tlayuda, spread half of the crushed beans over the tortilla, right up to the edges. Top with half the chorizo, half the cheese, and a sprinkle with cumin.
- Place the whole thing into the clean hot pan and cover to melt cheese, about 1-2 minutes.
- Build your second tlayuda the same way.
- Remove the first one from the pan and back to the plate.
- Throw the second one in the pan to melt the cheese, cover, and cook 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and back to its plate.
- Top your tlayudas with the avocado slices. Fiesta time!
