Huaraches with Chorizo and Queso Panela

If you look up the word huarache online, the first thing you’ll see are photos of handmade sandals, which is how this antojito, with its sandal-like shape, got its name. Huaraches may first be filled with refried beans (see page 26) and then topped with almost anything you like. Or, for a quicker preparation, you can skip the filling as I have here. I like mine topped with a layer of refried beans, chorizo, queso panela, and salsa and finished with finely chopped cilantro and onion.<
