Ingredients
  

For Beans

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ large onion diced small
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 4 cups cooked black beans or 3 cans black beans
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup water

For Enfrijoladas

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 12 tortillas

Optional Garnishes

  • ½ cup vegan feta or queso fresco
  • ½ cup red salsa of choice
  • ½ cup green salsa of choice
  • ½ cup vegan crema or crema Mexicana
  • ½ cup cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat and fry onion and garlic, stirring often until brown and almost burned. This takes about 7-8 minutes.
  • Add cooked black beans in their bean water plus 1 cup water.
  • Bring to a boil and mash gently with a potato masher or the bottom of a mug until the beans get a creamy and smooth consistency almost like a sauce. Takes 5-7 minutes. You can add extra water if the beans become too thick, chunky or dry. You want the texture to be as thick like sauce.
  • Heat the tortillas on a griddle or comal with a spray of oil for 2 minutes on each side to make them very pliable. This takes about 10 -12 minutes depending on size of the pan.
  • When the tortillas are warmed, use a pair of tongs to grip the edge of the tortillas, one at a time and rake them through the bean “sauce”. Thoroughly drench each tortilla in the beans and then fold in half and put on a plate. Serving size is 2-3 per person depending on appetite.
  • Garnish the Enfrijoladas with salsa, vegan crema, vegan queso y cilantro!
