Tlayudas
[vc_acf field_group="836" field_from_836="field_5ec7ef96179db"]Think of tlayudas as a Mexican pizza, but instead of a wheat base you have a corn tortilla and instead of tomato sauce you have beans. Then whatever you put on top it is up to you, just like you will do with pizza toppings.

Ingredients
- 2 avocados sliced

Instructions

Notes
- You can replace the chorizo with beefsteak, or boiled chicken. Or whatever your favourite pizza topping is.
- For a vegetarian option, remove the meat and add more beans.
- If you are unable to find tlayuda bases, use the largest corn tortilla you can find and reheat until soft before putting the beans on.
- Soak the onion slices in water to remove bitterness.
- Other options: add lettuce, radish, and chili slices.
