Tlayudas are a traditional Mexican dish originating from the state of Oaxaca. They consist of large, thin, crispy tortillas that are typically topped with a variety of ingredients, including beans, meat, cheese, and vegetables. The tortillas are first cooked on a comal, or griddle, until they are crispy and slightly charred. They are then topped with a layer of black bean purée, which is made from cooked black beans that have been mashed and seasoned with various spices and herbs. Additional toppings may include shredded chicken or beef, Oaxaca cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and salsa. Tlayudas are typically served folded in half or rolled up, and they can be enjoyed as a main course or as a snack. In this article, we will provide recipes for the tlayuda with black bean purée, as well as variations on the traditional recipe that include different toppings and fillings.

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups cooked or canned black beans, drained, liquid reserved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 small onion, minced
1 teaspoon mild chili powder, like New Mexico or ancho, or to taste
1 tablespoon cumin, or to taste
2 large (12-inch) tortillas, preferably corn
1 cup chopped quesillo (Mexican string cheese) or mozzarella; or use a crumbly cheese like queso fresco, slightly dried goat cheese or feta
Rounds of chorizo or other sausage, optional
1 cup chopped cabbage

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. If using dried beans, add salt, pepper, garlic, onion, chili powder and cumin in the last few minutes of cooking. Drain and reserve liquid. Carefully place mixture in a blender or food processor with enough bean liquid to allow machine to do its work and roughly purée, leaving the mixture a bit chunky. If using canned beans, add seasonings and warm mixture gently in a saucepan, stirring, just to take the edge off the garlic and onion. Then roughly purée.
  • Place 1 tortilla on pizza peel or baking sheet and spread half the bean mixture on it; top with half the cheese and half the meat, if using it. Bake (on pizza stone, if using) for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with half the cabbage. Bake another 5 minutes or so, until topping is hot and tortilla crisp on edges. Serve, cut into wedges, then repeat with other tortilla.

TLAYUDA WITH BLACK BEAN PUREE (AKA MEXICAN UNPIZZA)



Tlayuda With Black Bean Puree (Aka Mexican Unpizza) image

This is the genuine article, an Oaxacan specialty. Not to be called pizza. Better than the sum of its parts, the texture is key. I served with a Louisiana hot sauce, you may want to serve with salsa if you are not into things too hot. Other beans would also work well with this. As published in the NY Times.

Tips:

- Masa harina can be found in most Latin American grocery stores or online. If you can't find it, you can make your own by grinding dried corn into a fine powder. - To make the black bean puree, simply rinse and cook the black beans according to the package instructions. Then, mash them with a fork or potato masher until they are smooth. - You can use any type of cheese you like for the filling, but Oaxaca cheese is a traditional choice. - Be careful not to overcook the tlayudas, or they will become hard and brittle. - Serve the tlayudas immediately with your favorite toppings.

Tlayudas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a festive dish to share with friends, tlayudas are a great option.
