Step-by-step
Using a different robot? Switch it here:
- Slice the red onion into thin strips and pickle it in the bitter orange juice, bay leaves and salt for 20 minutes.
- Mix the masa with the warm water and salt until you get a smooth dough.
- Shape tortillas and cook on a griddle 2 min per side; carefully open a small pocket at the edge.
- Fill each tortilla with refried beans and close.
- Fry the panuchos in hot oil until golden and drain on paper.
- Top with cochinita and finish with the pickled red onion.
Tips
- The classic panucho uses the little air pocket that forms as the tortilla cooks — take advantage of it to fill it.
- If you can't find bitter orange, mix orange juice with a bit of lime juice and vinegar.
