Title: Huarache Con Carne Asada (Mexico City Style Corn Tortillas)
Categories: Mexican, Tortillas, Cheese, Beef
Yield: 4 Servings
1 1/2 c Masa harina
1 1/2 ts Kosher salt
1/2 c Plus 2 tbsp. canola oil
1 c Salsa roja
2 oz Queso Cotija, grated
4 (3-oz ) sirloin steaks,
Pounded to 1/8" thickness
1 md White onion, cut into
1/4 inch thick slices
30 oz Can sliced nopales, drained
And rinsed
2 Avocados, halved, pitted,
And peeled, for serving
Thick, oblong masa tortillas (named huarache, or sandal, because
of their shape) are topped with grated cheese, salsa roja, sauteed
steak, and sliced cactus in this classic street food.
Make the huaraches: Combine masa harina, salt, and 1 cup warm
water in a large bowl, and stir until a smooth dough forms. Knead
dough in bowl until very smooth but not sticky, about 2 minutes.
Divide dough into quarters and shape each quarter into a 7"-long,
1/4"-thick oval. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a 12" cast-iron skillet over
medium-high heat. Add 1 huarache to skillet, and cook until
blackened in spots on bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and
immediately spread with 1/4 cup salsa and 1/2 oz. cheese; continue
cooking until blackened in spots on bottom and cooked through,
about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with 3
tbsp. oil, remaining huaraches, salsa, and cheese.
Return skillet to high heat, and add 2 tbsp. oil. Season steaks
with salt, and add 2 steaks to skillet; cook, turning once, until
browned on both sides and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Place
one steak over each huarache, and repeat with 2 tbsp. oil and
remaining steaks.
Return skillet to high heat, and add remaining oil. Add onion, and
cook, stirring often, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add
cactus, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Divide
cactus and onions among steaks, and serve immediately with an
avocado half on each plate.
