Knead the masa harina, warm water, and half of the salt into a soft dough.
Mash the boiled black beans and thicken them in 1 tablespoon of oil for 4 minutes.
Take 8 pieces of dough, place beans inside each, and close into long ovals.
Cook the huarache bases in a dry pan for 3 minutes on each side.
Brown the ground beef with the remaining salt and cumin for 7 minutes.
Crisp the bases in 2 tablespoons of oil for 2 minutes on each side.
Top them with beef, salsa, lettuce, white cheese, cream, and cilantro, then serve.
💡 Tip: If the masa dough cracks, add 1 tablespoon of water; dough that is too dry separates around the bean filling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve huaraches hot on a plate with salsa, lettuce, cheese, and pickled hot peppers if desired, ready to eat by hand.
