Ingredients

  • 2 cups black beans (or pinto)
  • 3 chipotles in adobo
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup stock (or water)
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 3-4 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • Monterey jack cheese
  • 1 avocado (optional)
  • cilantro (optional)
  • crema (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the beans, garlic, chipotles and salt to a blender and puree until smooth.  Add stock (or water) until the puree has the consistency of a thick soup.  Taste for seasoning and heat level. 
  2. Warm the corn tortillas in the oven or microwave.  Place a big dollop of bean puree on a plate.  Dredge one side of a tortilla in the bean puree.  Flip the tortilla and fill with onion and cheese.  Roll tight and place in a baking dish seam side down (add some puree to the baking dish to prevent sticking).
  3. Continue rolling all of the tortillas -- this batch was enough for 8 rolled tortillas.
  4. Cover the tortillas in the baking dish with the remaining bean puree.  Bake at 425F for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  5. Serve immediately and top with your choice of avocado, cheese, cilantro and Crema.

Notes

  • You can add chicken or chorizo to the inside of the tortillas to make them even heartier.
  • If you are using canned beans I would probably drain and rinse the beans first and rely on the chipotles and garlic to flavor them. If you do rinse them you'll need to add salt to taste.
  • Anchos or Chile de Arbols can be used in place of the Chipotles.
