(Enfrijoladas)
Category: Enchiladas and Crepes
Makes 8 tortillas
Corn tortillas dipped in puréed beans, folded, and garnished with cheese and onion, is a popular traditional snack in Oaxaca. Enfrijoladas are easy to make at home. The rich flavors really stand out in this simple dish.
Fresh epazote, a pungent native Mexican herb with woody stems and serrated leaves about 2 inches long, imparts a subtle distinctive taste that's difficult to describe, but once smelled and tasted will be remembered. If fresh epazote is not available, just leave it out or use fresh oregano for a different flavor.
Queso fresco, a soft crumbly cheese, is widely available in the United States. Panela, sold in flat round wheels, has a spongy texture.
2 cups Black Bean Sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh epazote leaves, or chopped fresh oregano
1/3 cup vegetable oil
8 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortillas
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco (Mexican fresh cheese) or grated panela cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped white onions
1. Prepare the black bean sauce. Then, add fresh epazote, if available. Put the bean sauce in a medium skillet and keep warm.
2. In another skillet, heat about 1/3 cup oil until hot. Using tongs, dip tortillas, 1 at a time, in the oil until pliable and hot, about 3 seconds. Stack the tortillas on paper towels.
3. When all are ready, dip each tortilla in the warm bean sauce and quickly fold in quarters to a triangular shape. Place 2 folded tortillas on each of 4 plates. Spoon a little more sauce on each serving. Sprinkle the tops evenly with cheese and onion. Serve.
