1
Prepare the Tlayuda Base
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and place one corn tortilla in the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is crispy and golden brown.
2
Add Refried Beans
Spread half of the refried beans evenly over the cooked side of the tortilla.
3
Layer the Ingredients
Sprinkle half of the corn kernels over the beans, then add half of the queso fresco and drizzle half of the crema on top.
4
Top with Pickled Fresno Peppers
Add pickled Fresno peppers to taste on top before placing the second tortilla on top.
5
Cook the Second Tortilla
Drizzle the remaining olive oil on the skillet and carefully flip the tlayuda. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second tortilla is crispy.
6
Serve
Remove from skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm with additional crema and queso fresco on the side.
