Knead the masa harina, warm water, and 1 teaspoon salt into a moist but non sticky dough.
Finely chop the onion and mash the cooked black beans with cumin and the remaining salt.
Heat the neutral oil in a pan, fry the onion, and mix with the mashed beans.
Take tangerine sized pieces of dough, open them in your palm, and add the bean filling.
Close the dough and shape into flat oval tlacoyos.
Cook both sides on a cast iron pan until spots form.
Serve the tlacoyos with salsa verde, pickled nopal, and chopped cilantro.
💡 Tip: If the dough cracks, wet your palm and knead again; masa dough loses moisture quickly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot tlacoyos with salsa verde, pickled nopal, and fresh cilantro.
