Tlayudas
From 'Comida Mexicana' by Rosa Cienfuegos
Although this Mexican Pizza recipe originates from Oaxaca, this recipe is based on the ones Cienfuegos used to eat in Mexico City. These variants are lighter as they were eaten more as snacks than as a meal. Feel free to remix the pizza with any toppings that you fancy.Ingredients
- 500g masa flour
- 600ml warm water
- Pinch of salt
- 100g white onion, chopped
- 100g coriander leaves, chopped
- Vegetable oil spray
- 250g refried black beans
- 500g nopales, roughly chopped
- 100g fresco or feta cheese, grated
- Salsa verde, to serve
Recipe
- To make the tlayudas dough, mix the masa flour with the warm water and salt by hand in a bowl until the dough is soft and not sticky. DO NOT pre-make the dough as it will dry out, making it harder to handle.
- Place the onion and coriander in a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
- Roll 100g of the dough into a ball and press in a tortilla press to make a 3mm thick disc.
- Heat a heavy-based frying pan over a high heat and spray with oil. Place the dough disc in the pan and cook for 3 minutes each side until hard and crisp. Repeat for the dough.
- Evenly spread the refried beans over the base of each tlayuda.
- Top with the Nopales, onion and coriander, and grated cheese.
- Finish with a dollop of salsa verde and serve.
