Memelas

Memelas are traditional Mexican dish from Oaxaca, made of masa topped with black beans, salsa, cabbage, avocado and cheese.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a large bowl, mix the masa harina with the water and a pinch of salt until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a small oval.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook the memelas for about 2 minutes on each side, until they are golden and crispy.
Spread a layer of refried beans on each memela, followed by the salsa, cabbage, avocado slices, and queso fresco.
Serve the memelas warm, with extra salsa on the side if desired.
