Cook the meat:

  4. Cover and set aside.
Make the huaraches:
  1. Combine masa, salt, and water in a bowl.
  2. Knead for 2 minutes to achieve a smooth and non-sticky dough.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Divide the dough into equal portions and keep them covered with a damp towel.
  5. Using your hands and a smooth surface, get a ping ball sized amount of dough and shape it into a rope.
  6. Using a tortilla press lined with plastic wrap, press out all ropes into flat ovals.
  7. Peel the sheet on top and flip the huarache onto your hand.
  8. Remove the last sheet and then place the huarache onto the hot pan.
  9. Cook for one minute, then carefully flip it and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
  10. Repeat the steps until all masa dough is used and keep huaraches wrapped in a kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
Assemble:
  1. Place a huarache flat on a plate and spread a spoonful of refried beans.
  2. Add some meat on top.
  3. Top with chopped cilantro and add some cheese on top and finish with a drizzle of sour cream. Serve immediately.
