Ingredients

  • teaspoon double-acting baking powder 
  • servings beef and chili topping 
  • cups cabbage shredded
  • servings cilantro chicken topping 
  • 1.8 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth 
  • 0.3 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • cups dehydrated masa flour (corn tortilla flour)
  • servings mushroom topping 
  • 0.3 cup nonfat sour reduced-fat
  • servings chili pork topping 
  • 15 oz refried beans canned
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 
  • servings salt and pepper 
  • servings topping (choices follow)
  • 0.5 cup tomatillo salsa green

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • spatula

Directions

  1. In a bowl, stir masa flour, baking powder, salt, and broth until dough holds together well, adding a little water if needed.
  2. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 6-inch-long log on a sheet of waxed paper. Pat each log into a 1/8-inch-thick oval, about 4 by 8 inches. (If shaped ahead, stack with waxed paper, wrap airtight, and refrigerate up to 2 hours.)
  3. Place a griddle or 2 frying pans (10 to 12 in.) over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, flip masa dough onto pan and peel off paper. Cook until bottom of masa is light brown, about 3 minutes. Use a wide spatula to turn huaraches over.
  4. Spread about 1/4 of the beans over each huarache. Cover beans with 1/4 of the chicken topping. Cook until huarache bottoms are lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. With a wide spatula, transfer to plates.
  5. Top huaraches equally with shredded cabbage, salsa, cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper to taste.
