Tlayudas

Method

1. 1 Knead the masa dough and then press it into a very large disc, 28 cm in diameter and 3 mm thick.
2. 2 Toast the pancakes on a cast iron pan for 4 minutes on each side until they are firm but still pliable.
3. 3 The tlayuda bread must be large and chewy, not crumbly; that's a distinctive feature of Oaxaca.
4. 4 Cook the black beans until tender, then mash them and stir-fry them in pork fat until thickened.
5. 5 Spread the mashed beans evenly over the bread, then sprinkle with shredded Oaxaca cheese and bake over charcoal for 3 minutes.
6. 6 Grill the beef, then mince it and arrange it on a bun with shredded cabbage, avocado, and dried chili sauce, then fold it in half.

With an appliance
