Recipe's preparation

    Corn tortillas
  1. Place masa harina and salt into mixing bowl and mix 5 sec/speed 3.
  2. Mixing speed 5, slowly add water through hole in mixing bowl lid until dough forms a small ball. The dough should be firm and springy to the touch and not dry or sticky. Transfer dough into a bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Clean and dry mixing bowl.
  3. Flour a rolling pin and ThermomMat or work surface with masa harina. Pinch off a 4 cm ball of dough and lightly coat dough with masa harina, then roll out into a 20 cm tortilla (approx. 1-2 mm thick). Flip the tortilla over a couple of times as you roll, adding extra masa harina as needed. Re-flour rolling pin and ThermoMat or work surface and repeat with remaining dough to form 12 tortillas.
  4. Place a cast iron griddle or heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place a tortilla into the dry pan. Cook for approx. 20 seconds, until bubbles form on the surface. Turn tortilla and cook for a further 20 seconds until small bubbles form. Tortillas may appear to darken slightly and this is normal. Transfer cooked tortilla to a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas, carefully cleaning out any burnt masa harina from the pan with paper towel, as needed. Set tortillas aside to dry out while you prepare the Refried beands and Raw salsa.
  5. Refried beans
  6. Place onion and garlic into mixing bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 5. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula.
  7. Add ghee and cook 3 min/100C/speed 1.
  8. Add all remaining Refried bean ingredients, except water, and mix 30 sec/Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" /speed 3 to gently mash the beans, then cook 8 min/90C/Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" /speed 2. Add 1-2 tablespoons water if needed - beans should retain some texture and not be completely smooth. Transfer into a ThermoServer and set aside. Clean and dry mixing bowl.
  9. Raw salsa
  10. Place garlic, coriander or parsley and onion into mixing bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 5. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula.
  11. Add all remaining salsa ingredients and chop 5 sec/speed 5. Transfer into a small serving bowl and set aside.
  12. Corn tortillas
  13. Preheat oven to 60C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
  14. Just before you want to serve, crisp up the tortillas. Place a heavy-based frying pan over medium heat and add coconut oil (approx. 5 mm deep). To test if oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of tortilla into pan, bubbles should appear around the tortilla immediately. Place a tortilla into pan and fry for 30-60 seconds until crisp and golden. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully transfer tortilla to paper towel to drain. Transfer fried tortilla to prepared baking tray and keep warm in oven while you fry the remaining ones.
  15. To serve
  16. Place avocado, lime juice, onion salt and pepper into a bowl and combine. Serve tortillas topped with lettuce, Refried beans, Raw salsa and avocado.

Tip

All elements of this dish, except avocado topping, can be prepared the day before.

Tortillas crisp up the drier they are, so great to prepare ahead, then fry just before serving.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 6 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 6
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
