Ingredients
- 12 pcs corn tortillas
- 400 g black beans
- 1 pcs white onion
- 2 pcs garlic cloves
- 5 g epazote
- 100 g queso fresco
- 80 ml mexican crema
- 30 ml vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 pcs avocado
Steps
- Blend cooked black beans with half the onion, garlic, and 200ml of their cooking liquid until completely smooth.
- The sauce should be thick but pourable — like velvet.
- Heat oil in a wide skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in the bean sauce and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until darkened and thickened slightly.
- Add epazote or cilantro.
- Season with salt.
- Warm tortillas on a comal or dry pan until pliable.
- Dip each tortilla into the hot bean sauce, coating both sides.
- Fold each sauced tortilla in half, then in half again into a quarter.
- Arrange overlapping on a warm plate, 3 per person.
- Drizzle with more bean sauce, then top with crumbled queso fresco, a swirl of crema, sliced avocado, and thinly sliced raw onion rings.
- Serve immediately.
