1
Prepare Guajillo Peppers
Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo peppers. Soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes until they are softened.
2
Chop Shallot and Olives
Finely chop the shallot and Kalamata olives, and set aside.
3
Blend Tuna Mixture
In a food processor, combine the softened guajillo peppers, canned tuna (drained), chopped shallot, Kalamata olives, and capers. Blend until well mixed but still slightly chunky.

Prepare Tlayuda
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the tlayudas one at a time and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove from skillet.

Season Tlayuda
Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste on each side of the cooked tlayuda.
