Instructions

1
Create a pocket in each tortilla: using a paring knife, carefully slice each tortilla horizontally through the middle without cutting all the way through, like opening a pita. Spread a spoonful of refried beans inside each tortilla pocket and press closed.
2
Heat lard or oil in a large skillet to 350°F. Fry the bean-stuffed tortillas for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
3
Top each panucho with a generous spoonful of warm cochinita pibil. Add pickled red onions and avocado slices.
4
Serve with habanero salsa on the side — the combination of crispy stuffed tortilla, tender pibil, tangy pickled onion, and fiery habanero is the definitive Yucatecan street food experience.
