Method

  1. 1 Marinate the chicken breast with achiote and freshly squeezed orange juice for 20 minutes, then boil for 20 minutes. Let cool and shred.
  2. 2 Thinly slice the onion, then mix it with orange juice, lemon juice, and salt for 15 minutes to make pickles.
  3. 3 Knead the masa dough with warm water, shape into round patties, and pan-fry for 3 minutes on each side until puffed up.
  4. 4 Make a small slit in the air pocket of the bun, stuff it with mashed black beans, and then seal it shut.
  5. 5 Deep-fry the patties for 2 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then remove and drain.
  6. 6 Arrange shredded chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickled onions on top of the pizza and eat immediately.
