Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • black beans
  • dried avocado leaves
Simmer black beans about two hours until completely tender, with dried avocado leaves first toasted in a dry skillet.
  • ¾ cup beans
  • bean broth
Strain the beans, keeping the liquid; blend about three quarters of a cup of beans with some of the bean broth until completely smooth.
Combine the puree with all the broth and reduce over medium heat to about half its volume; season with salt. Keep the rest of the whole beans for another dish.
  • fresh tomatillos
Husk and rinse fresh tomatillos and broil until blackened, blistered and soft, about five minutes per side; cool completely.
  • canned chipotle
  • salt
  • water
  • chopped white onion
Blend the tomatillos with canned chipotle to a coarse puree; season with salt, thin with a little water to a spoonable consistency and stir in chopped white onion.
  • chorizo
Cook chorizo out of its casing in a skillet over medium heat about 10 minutes, breaking it up, until it starts to brown.
Chorizo and softening tortillas
  • corn tortillas
  • oil
Spray corn tortillas lightly with oil on each side, put them in a folded-over plastic bag and microwave 60 seconds at full power to soften.
  • salt
With tongs, dip each hot tortilla into the reduced bean sauce, fold into quarters and plate.
Dipping, folding and topping
  • crumbled Mexican queso fresco
  • white onion
  • parsley
Top with browned chorizo, salsa, crumbled queso fresco, sliced white onion and parsley leaves.
