NEW MEXICAN BLACK BEANS



New Mexican Black Beans image

The chicken stock in these beans adds a wonderful favor without being overpowering and lets the flavor of the beans stand out. Serve them on the side with enchiladas, refry them, use them in dips, or serve with rice. This recipe is a combination from the Sunset Mexican Cookbook and the recipe on the bag of beans. For the stock, I use prepared chicken base instead of canned stock. I would not use bullion because it would be too salty. These put canned beans to shame!

Categories     Black Beans

Time 3h15m

Yield 8 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb black beans, dried
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons bacon fat
1 large onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
1 tablespoon red chili pepper, ground (I use New Mexican red chiles)
1 tablespoon cumin
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Wash beans in cool water and pick out any debris.
  • For quick soak method, put beans large pot and cover with warm water, about 2 - 3 inches over the top of the beans. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat, cover and let stand for one hour. Alternately, cover in cool water and let stand overnight.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot, saute onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until soft and clear in color.
  • Drain beans.
  • Add beans to onion mixture and add chicken stock, water, spices and vinegar.
  • Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until beans are soft. If beans are too soupy, uncover and bring to a low boil to reduce.
  • Serve as a side with mexican dishes, or use in dips, refried, or with rice.

BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITOS



Bean and Cheese Burritos image

Mexican refried beans are a cinch to make at home on a weeknight thanks to some staple pantry items and a few basic fresh ingredients. Buttery canned pinto beans are perfect in this dish, breaking down into a creamy, silky mixture. (Black beans would also work great.) While the beans are often fried in lard or bacon drippings, this vegetarian version builds flavor with caramelized onion, bell pepper, garlic and smoked paprika instead. Pico de gallo adds a touch of tang to counter the rich beans. Pan-frying the wrapped burritos guarantees a golden, irresistibly crispy exterior and an interior that oozes with melted cheese.

Categories     weeknight, burritos and nachos, main course

Time 40m

Yield 6 burritos

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup safflower or canola oil
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion (from 1/2 medium onion)
1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper (from 1/2 pepper)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, 1/2 cup of bean liquid reserved and the rest drained
1/2 cup store-bought or homemade pico de gallo or salsa
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
6 (9- to 10-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar
Sour cream and hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden and tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add pinto beans, pico de gallo, smoked paprika, reserved bean liquid and 1/2 cup of water, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring and mashing occasionally with a potato masher or the back of a spoon, until liquid is absorbed and mixture is thick, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer refried beans to a bowl, and wipe out skillet.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the refried beans in the center of each tortilla and top each with 1/3 cup of the cheese. Fold the short sides of the tortilla over the filling; fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the filling and tightly roll.
  • In the skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium. Add 3 burritos seam side down and cook until golden, turning occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving plates and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 3 burritos. Serve warm with sour cream and hot sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • To save time, use canned black beans instead of dried beans. Just rinse and drain them before using.
  • If you don't have chili powder, you can use a combination of cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the burritos, such as corn, zucchini, or bell peppers.
  • If you like spicy food, add a diced jalapeño pepper to the filling.
  • Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

New Mexican black bean burritos are a delicious and easy weeknight meal. They're packed with protein and fiber, and they can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give these burritos a try!
