Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 cups peruano beans, cooked and mashed
- 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Gather 8 corn tortillas, 2 cups of cooked and mashed Peruano beans, 1/2 cup of crumbled queso fresco, 1/4 cup of chopped onions, 1/4 cup of sour cream, and 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro.
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm the cooked and mashed Peruano beans. Stir occasionally until heated through, about 5 minutes. If desired, you can add a pinch of salt or some spices for extra flavor.
- While the beans are warming, in a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, lightly fry the corn tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are soft and pliable. Remove them from the pan and set them aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Once the beans are warm, take each tortilla and dip it into the warm beans, ensuring both sides are coated. Place the dipped tortilla on a serving plate.
- On top of the coated tortilla, add a generous portion of the warmed mashed Peruano beans, followed by a sprinkle of chopped onions and a handful of crumbled queso fresco.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, stacking them if desired, and layering the beans, onions, and queso fresco on each one.
- Drizzle sour cream over the top of the stacked enfrijoladas, and finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for freshness and color.
- Serve immediately while warm, alongside additional sour cream or hot sauce if desired.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh corn tortillas and high-quality Peruano beans. If you can, cook the beans from scratch for a richer taste!
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add sliced avocados, diced tomatoes, or even a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the mashed Peruano beans in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Just warm them up when you're ready to assemble your Enfrijoladas.
- Perfectly Fry Your Tortillas: Don’t skip the frying step! Lightly frying the tortillas helps them become pliable and adds a delicious texture that holds up well with the beans.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your Enfrijoladas with a side of Mexican rice or a fresh salad to complete the meal. They also pair wonderfully with a chilled beverage like horchata or agua fresca.
