INGREDIENTS (8 Tlacoyos):

- 1 tsp of salt
- 250g Refried Beans

STEPS:
- Form balls of dough the size of Golf balls, roll it between your hands and flatten it to form a disc of around 15cm and set on the side on top a towel to avoid sticking on a surface.
- Mix refried beans with cayenne pepper and cumin powder for a more intense flavor.
- Add about 1-1 / 2 tablespoons of refried beans in the middle and fold the disk in half, and seal the edges like a dumpling.
- Place the Tlacoyo in the hot pan and grill on each side for about 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness.
