Method
Preparation and assembly

- 2
Toast tortillas
Heat a dry skillet or comal over medium-high heat. Toast each tortilla for 1–2 minutes per side until blistered and crisp around the edges. Transfer to a warm plate.
- 3
Warm beans
Gently warm refried beans in a small pot over low heat. If needed, whisk in a splash of water or a little broth to reach a spreadable consistency.
- 4
Assemble base and cheese
Spread a thin layer of warm beans on each tortilla. Top with shredded Oaxaca cheese and return to the skillet for 1–2 minutes until cheese just begins to melt.
- 5
Add optional carne
If using carne asada, scatter over the melted cheese and gently warm for another minute to reheat the meat.

Top with toppings
Evenly distribute lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, red onion, cilantro, and spoon over salsa. If desired, drizzle a little extra salsa on each tlayuda.

Finish and serve
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
