Steps

Prepare Bean Sauce

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the drained black beans, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Blend Sauce

Transfer the bean mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more broth or water until desired consistency is reached. Return the sauce to the saucepan and keep warm over low heat.

Fry Tortillas

In a skillet, heat enough vegetable oil (about 1 cm deep) over medium heat. One by one, dip each corn tortilla into the hot oil for 10-15 seconds per side, just until softened but not crispy. Drain excess oil on paper towels.

Assemble & Serve

Dip each fried tortilla into the warm bean sauce, ensuring both sides are coated. Place 3-4 tortillas on a plate, folding them in half or rolling them up. Top with crumbled queso fresco, a drizzle of Mexican crema, thinly sliced red onion, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Extra Tips

► You can prepare the bean sauce in advance and store it in the fridge, making assembly of the enfrijoladas quicker.

► If you like more heat, add extra chipotle peppers to the sauce or sprinkle fresh jalapeño slices on top when serving.

► Only fry the tortillas until they are soft, not crispy, so they can easily absorb the bean sauce.
