Ingredients

Scale

Corn Tortillas:

  • 24 corn tortillas

Queso Fresco Mixture:

  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 1 lb queso fresco (crumbled)
  • Oil for frying (as needed)

Bean Sauce:

  • 3 cups cooked beans
  • 1 ½ cups beans cooking water (or vegetable stock)
  • ½ small onion
  • 2 chipotle in adobo peppers
  • ½ tsp cumin powder
  • 1 garlic clove (peeled)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt (to taste)

Additional Toppings:

  • Mexican crema (or sour cream)
  • Additional queso fresco
  • Cilantro (chopped)
  • Avocado slices (optional)
  • Fresh chilies or salsa (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Queso Fresco Mixture: Mix queso fresco and diced onions in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Prepare Bean Sauce: Blend beans, broth, chipotle peppers, onion, garlic, and cumin powder until smooth. Heat olive oil in a saucepan, add the sauce, and simmer until thickened.
  3. Fry Tortillas: Heat oil in a pan, fry tortillas briefly on each side, and drain on paper towels.
  4. Assemble Enfrijoladas: Dip tortillas in the bean sauce, fill with cheese mixture, fold, and place on plates. Top with salsa, remaining cheese and onions, crema, cilantro, and desired toppings.

Notes

  • For the best results, lightly fry the tortillas before dipping them in the bean sauce to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
  • Feel free to customize your enfrijoladas with your favorite toppings such as avocado slices, fresh chilies, or a spicy salsa.
