Ingredients
Tortillas:
- 2 cups all-purpose
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
Filling:
- 2 cups refried beans, warmed
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ½ cup crumbled queso fresco (fresh white cheese)
- ¼ cup crema fresca (fresh cream)
- 2 scrambled eggs
Directions
- Mix flour, water, vegetable oil, egg, and salt in a large bowl; knead until dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
- Form the dough into 8 golf ball-sized balls. Cover and let rest, about 20 minutes.
- Stretch each ball of dough into a thick tortilla.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla until browned and lightly puffed, about 1 minute per side.
- Layer refried beans, avocado, and queso fresco over tortillas. Drizzle crema on top; fold tortillas in half over filling.
