Honduran Baleadas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Tortillas:
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup water
    1/2 cup vegetable oil
    1 egg
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    Filling:
    2 cups refried beans, warmed
    1 avocado, sliced
    1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco (fresh white cheese)
    1/4 cup crema fresca (fresh cream)
Preparation
    Mix flour, water, vegetable oil, egg, and salt in a large bowl; knead until dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
    Form the dough into 8 golf ball-sized balls. Cover and let rest, about 20 minutes.
    Stretch each ball of dough into a thick tortilla.
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla until browned and lightly puffed, about 1 minute per side.
    Layer refried beans, avocado, and queso fresco over tortillas. Drizzle crema on top; fold tortillas in half over filling.
