Tlayuda con Carne (Oaxacan-style Pizza with Meat)
Experience the authentic taste of Oaxaca with this deliciously crispy and meaty tlayuda tonight!
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
In a skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and brown the 1 pound of ground beef for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In the meantime, rinse and heat the 1 cup of black beans until warm.
Once the beef is cooked, spread the ground beef evenly over the tlayuda.
Layer the warm black beans over the beef, then sprinkle the 200 grams of quesillo cheese on top.
Place the tlayuda directly on an oven rack and bake for about 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are crispy.
While the tlayuda is baking, prepare the toppings. Chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and slice the avocado.
Once the tlayuda is ready, remove it from the oven and top with the chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and drizzle with your favorite salsa.
Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
