Steps

1

Dice the onion and tomato, then mix them with the nopales (which should be pre-cooked and chopped). Season to taste.
2

Wash and chop the cilantro, then set aside.
3

With clean hands, knead the masa a little and start shaping the tlacoyos.
4

Add a bit of refried beans inside the masa.
5

Seal and shape the tlacoyos with your hands. You can also use a tortilla press if you prefer. Place them on a preheated griddle (comal) over very low heat and cook on both sides until done.
6

Serve the tlacoyos hot, topped with the nopales, cilantro, cheese, and salsa.

Soy mexicana; tengo una carrera en gastronomía con conocimientos en comida oriental, italiana, francesa y mediterránea.Aunque también me encanta la repostería, chocolatería y coctelería. La comida gourmet es fascinante, pero la comida casera es llena de amor y dedicación especial porque es para nuestro hogar.Por ahora estoy aprendiendo la gastronomía ecuatoriana!
