A Panucho is a fried tortilla that is stuffed with refried beans and served with a variety of toppings for breakfast, lunch or Dinner. My recipe calls for store bought corn tortillas, you can buy the Tortilla Masa and make them from scratch. You can also purchase the refried beans in a can, but please season with garlic, Onion, and a little Salt.
The Spanish Version provided by “Yo Amo la Comida” in Facebook is slightly different than mine. I also found a video in Spanish that walks through the steps that I take, with a variation of ingredients. Even if you do not know Spanish, the visual helps!
