This Oaxacan specialty has a large, thin corn base crisped in the oven and topped with mashed beans, cheese and char-roasted vegetables. Preparation takes time because the dough needs to rest and the toppings are cooked separately.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the dough

20 min

Mix the masa harina with the salt and gradually knead in the hot water. Cover and leave to rest for 20 minutes.

2

Roll out the bases

15 min

Roll the rested dough into two large, thin rounds. Lightly brown each side in a dry frying pan for 2 minutes.

3

Mash the beans

10 min

Cook the boiled black beans and onion in olive oil for 5 minutes, then mash with a fork until smooth.

4

Add the toppings and bake

12 min

Spread the bean mixture over the bases and scatter with char-roasted red pepper and grated Kashar cheese (Turkish semi-hard cheese). Bake in an oven preheated to 220°C / 430°F for 12 minutes, until the cheese melts and the edges are crisp.

5

Serve

3 min

Top the baked tlayudas with finely chopped lettuce, cut into quarters and serve immediately.

Reminder

Check the tortilla frequently while it is in the oven: it is thin enough to burn in just a few minutes. Allergens: contains milk and dairy products.
