Crispy Chipotle Beans Tacos (V)
Refried Beans
-400g pinto beans
-⅓ onion, finely chopped
-2 garlic cloves, crushed
-1 fresh jalapeno, finely chopped
-1 chipotle in adobo, minced
-1 tbsp tomato paste
-a handful of coriander, chopped
-salt and black pepper to taste
-1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 Heat up the oil in a pan set to medium-high and saute the onions for 3 minutes. Stir often and once they start to soften add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
2 Add the tomato paste and the chipotle and cook for 2 minutes mixing all together. Add the beans next with some of their liquid and mix with the onions for 5 minutes.
3 While the beans are cooking, mash some of them to make an interesting texture. You can do this with the back of a wooden spoon or with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste and keep hot on low heat.
4 The beans should be creamy, if they get too dry you can add a little more of the liquid from the beans or water to adjust.
Crispy Chipotle Beans Tacos
-6 to 8 corn tortillas
-vegetable oil, as needed
-salsa macha or chilli oil (optional)
1 Add a little bit of vegetable oil and some chilli oil, if using, to a frying pan and once hot, add one corn tortilla. As the tortilla softens, spoon a good amount of the chipotle beans into half of the tortilla. Close the tortilla with the help of a spatula and allow it to crisp for a couple of minutes or until it gets golden brown. If you have space, repeat the process with a second tortilla on the side. Place it in the pan and spoon beans, close and fry for a few minutes. Turn the tacos so they crisp on the other side.
2 After a few minutes they should be crispy and golden. Remove them to a plate and add more oil to the pan before continuing with the remaining tortillas.
Avocado Salsa
-2 avocados
-a handful of coriander
-1 garlic clove
-1 pickled serrano or jalapeno
-½ lemon juice
-salt and pepper to taste
1 Add everything to a blender or food processor and blitz until creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Notes
-These tacos are ridiculously good. It is amazing how simple ingredients create such flavourful combinations.
-Make sure to use plenty of filling and allow the beans to crisp too when you are frying the tacos.
-Adding a pickled serrano to the avocado salsa will bring more heat to it. Use jalapenos instead for a more friendly kick. Pickled chiles are so tasty! We highly recommend using them in your recipes!
-You can use tinned beans or use homemade beans. Check how to make your own here.
