Ingredients

  • corn tortillas8 pcs
  • black beans cooked with some of their liquid500 g
  • water150 ml
  • onion1 pcs
  • garlic2 cloves
  • vegetable oil2 tbsp
  • salt1 to taste
  • fresh cheese (queso fresco)120 g
  • sour cream100 g

Instructions

1

Put the cooked black beans in a blender along with 150 ml of water, the garlic, half the onion, and salt; blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add the remaining water.

2

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a saucepan, pour in the bean sauce, and simmer over low heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring, until it's smooth and hot. Taste and adjust the salt.

3

Finely chop the remaining onion. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet and sauté the onion for 4–5 minutes until soft; transfer it to a bowl.

4

Warm the corn tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side until pliable. Don't overdo it or they'll dry out.

5

Dip each warm tortilla into the hot bean sauce, place a bit of the sautéed onion in the center, and fold in half. Plate two enfrijoladas per serving.

6

Spoon the remaining bean sauce over the enfrijoladas, then top with queso fresco, sour cream, and the sautéed onion. Serve immediately, before the tortillas get soggy.
