All referring to this nutritious and delicious Mexican dish. I did not know the Tlacoyos as a child. I remember we were sitting in a restaurant in Texcoco and waiting for the barbacoa we had ordered to be served at our table we were starving!
They were amazingly delicious! Other appetizers also derive from this pre-Hispanic dish; like huaraches oval corn tortilla , sopes , and the gorditas. Besides from the traditional filling such as mashed beans; the tlacoyos can be filled with cheese, potatoes, meat, mushrooms, zucchini blossoms, and many other vegetables.
Tlacoyo is undoubtedly a very healthy and nutritious Mexican snack. Where normally the snacks are fried in lard or oil; this one instead, is cooked on a comal with no oil added and in its preparation uses fresh and nutritious ingredients such as nopales salad, pico de gallo and lettuce; not counting the different sauces to accompany it and that are prepared without fat or heavy ingredients.
One more proof that our ancestors knew how to feed themselves and used those ingredients such as corn, beans and chili in the healthiest way they could. Roast the tomatoes together with the onion and garlic clove, you can use a comal , iron skillet or even the oven. Once these ingredients are roasted, proceed with the chilies. Remove the stem and open the guajillo peppers with scissors, carefully remove as much of the veins as possible and all the seeds, then remove the stem from the arbol chilies.
Roast the chilies for a few seconds and taking care that they do not burn, once roasted, put them in a blender and add a cup of boiling water it has to be very hot to soften the chiles. Add the roasted tomatoes, onion and garlic.
Let stand for 15 minutes. Once the resting time has passed, blend everything until obtaining a smooth sauce without lumps. If dough edges crack, add additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until edges no longer crack. Remove a small piece of dough from prepared masa; roll into a 2-inch ball just larger than a golf ball. Cover dough in bowl with a damp kitchen towel. Alternatively, press lightly with a tortilla press lined with sheets of plastic. A ziplock plastic bag works best.
Invert dough disk into your hand. If it sticks to your hand, dough is too wet; add additional masa harina as needed to correct the texture. Spread 1 level tablespoon mashed beans down center of dough disk.
Fold both sides of disk in toward center, enclosing the filling like an empanada. Pinch seams closed. You can also flatten tlacoyo using a rolling pin. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with remaining dough and remaining mashed beans to make a total of 8 tlacoyos. Melt 1 teaspoon lard in a inch cast-iron skillet or comal Mexican griddle over medium. Add 4 tlacoyos to skillet. Cook until sides start to dry slightly and begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
