Freshly made mexican huarache served

Huarache (Mexican Shoe-Shaped Flatbread)

Huarache is a popular Mexican dish that was invented in Mexico City in the 1930s. The dish takes its name from the traditional Mexican leather sandal, as its oval shape resembles it. The dough for huarache is similar to that of a tortilla, but thicker and more filling. It is traditionally made with beans and cheese, but meats and fresh vegetables are often added. Today, it is one of the most popular dishes in Mexican markets and street vendors, served with sour cream and cilantro.

    Spread the refried beans on top of the huarache, then sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese.

    Shred the cooked chicken and distribute it on top of the huarache.
