Servings: 8
Tortillas:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling:
2 cups refried beans, warmed
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco (fresh white cheese)
1/4 cup crema fresca (fresh cream)
Directions
Make the tortillas: Mix flour, water, vegetable oil, egg, and salt together in a large bowl. Knead dough until smooth and no longer sticky. Form into eight golf ball-sized balls. Cover and let rest for 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 onto warm tortillas, then drizzle crema over top. Fold tortillas in half to eat.
