Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. When it sizzles, add tasajo in a single layer and sear until edges crisp and darken, ~3 minutes per side.
Step 2
Transfer beef to a plate. In the same skillet, char a tortilla directly over the heat 60 seconds per side until it bubbles and blackens at the edges.
Step 3
Spread black beans on the warm tortilla, then top with shredded cheese. Let sit off heat for 30 seconds until cheese starts to melt.
Step 4
Stir jalapeño slices into crema. Drizzle crema over the tlayuda, then scatter the seared tasajo and avocado slices on top.
Step 5
Garnish with fresh cilantro. Repeat with the second tortilla if making 2 servings, or slice and serve immediately.
Tools you’ll need
