Cup of Yum
For the Tomatillo Salsa
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the halved tomatillos on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast until soft and charred, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool. Transfer the tomatillos into a blender or food processor with the onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with more cilantro, lime juice, or salt according to preference.
To Assemble
- In a large skillet, warm the tomatillo salsa over medium heat with the black beans. Once warmed through, add the fried tortilla chips into the liquid and nestle to coat.
- Top with the shredded cheese and remove from the heat. The residual heat will start to melt the cheese
- Garnish with cotija, crema, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately.
- Optional to add scrambled or fried eggs on top.
