Transform ordinary corn tortillas into a mouthwatering meal by dipping them in savory black bean sauce, folding them, and filling with cheese and avocado for a satisfying vegetarian and gluten-free dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced, divided
  • 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans black bean, not drained or 3 1/2 cups cooked beans plus 1 cup bean cooking liquid
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 small avocados, cut into slices
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1/3 cup Mexican salsa
  • 1/3 cup light or regular sour cream
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  • Special Equipment:
  • Blender
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté 3/4 of the sliced onion until nearly tender for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté to soften for 2 more minutes.
  • Create the perfect sauce: Combine cooked onion and garlic with beans, bean liquid, chipotle, lime juice, cumin, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a blender. Blend until creamy. Adjust salt to taste and blend once more for perfection.
  • Simmer the beans in the skillet over low heat for 4 to 6 minutes until the sauce reaches a thick soup-like consistency. Adjust by adding water if needed.
  • Prepare the dish: Heat a tortilla using tongs over a gas flame or in a dry skillet on high heat until it starts to blister. Dip the tortilla into the bean sauce, ensuring it is fully coated. Fold it in half using a spatula and place it on a dinner plate. Garnish with cotija cheese, avocado slices, and sliced onions. Repeat for the rest of the tortillas and bean sauce, serving 2 enfrijoladas per plate.
  • Serve immediately with salsa, cilantro, sour cream, and any leftover bean sauce for guests to customize their dish.
