Blend the beans, the cooking water from the beans, the epazote, and the onion for 5 minutes or until you get a mixture that is not too thick, as this will be the base of your tlayuda. Set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a pot, add the beans, and cook for 10 minutes. Set aside. Mix the onion, tomato, serrano chili, cilantro, pickled Nopalitos Herdez®, salt, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Mix very well until fully integrated. Heat the tlayuda on a griddle over medium heat and grill for a bit. Then, add two to three tablespoons of beans, spreading them over the entire base of the tlayuda, then add the cheese and remove from the griddle when melted. Serve the vegetarian tlayuda on a flat plate, add the pickled Nopalitos Herdez® salad, avocado, and red sauce. Enjoy!
