Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 12 servings (24 small enchilada cups)

Number Of Ingredients 19

24 small corn tortillas
One 14-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
One 10-ounce can red enchilada sauce
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup raw corn, cut off the cob, or frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Fresh cilantro, chopped or in sprigs, for garnish
Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish
Sour cream, for garnish
Pico de gallo, for garnish
Guacamole 3 Ways, for garnish, recipe follows
3 ripe avocados
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup diced red onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds, plus extra for serving
2 roasted jalapenos, diced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, plus extra for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Microwave the stack of tortillas for 30 seconds, flipping halfway through. Tuck 1 tortilla into each cup of 2 standard 12-cup muffin pans, gently pleating the edges of the tortillas so that they fit snugly. Roll 24 small balls of aluminum foil and place them insides the cups; they'll help the tortillas hold their shape. Bake until the tortilla cups have hardened slightly on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly. (Leave the oven on.)
  • Meanwhile, combine the black beans, enchilada sauce, chicken and corn in a large mixing bowl. Toss until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Carefully spoon the filling into each cup until it is filled nearly to the brim. Sprinkle the cheeses on top of each tortilla cup. Bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is warmed through, about 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the top of each cup evenly with desired garnishes and serve warm.
  • Mash the avocados with the lime juice. Mix in the onion and season with salt and pepper. Flavor with one of the 3 following options.
  • For pomegranate guacamole, fold in the pomegranate seeds. Top with more seeds before serving.
  • For roasted jalapeno guacamole, fold in the diced roasted jalapenos.
  • For feta guacamole, fold in the feta cheese. Top with more feta before serving.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes
1 medium white onion, cut into quarters
2 jalapenos
2 cloves garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, plus more chopped and whole leaves for serving
1/4 cup safflower oil
6 corn tortillas
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
6 large eggs, room temperature
3 radishes, thinly sliced
1 scallion, trimmed and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat broiler with rack in top position. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, rotating sheet and flipping vegetables frequently, until blistered and slightly softened, 6 to 8 minutes. (If garlic is browning too quickly, remove it early.) Move oven rack to center and reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Discard garlic skins and jalapeno stems (for a mild salsa, remove seeds as well). In a food processor, pulse garlic and vegetables until coarsely pureed. Season with salt and pepper; pulse just to combine. Add cilantro; pulse to combine. Salsa can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • In a 12-inch oven-proof skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Once hot, add 2 tortillas and fry, turning once, until they begin to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Fry remaining tortillas in two more batches. Reduce heat to medium; add 2 1/2 cups salsa to skillet. (It will splatter slightly.) Cook until bright red and slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add beans; cook 1 minute more. Transfer mixture to a heatproof bowl.
  • Line bottom of skillet with tortillas; top with salsa-bean mixture. Make 6 wells in mixture with the back of a spoon. Crack 1 egg into each well. Transfer to oven; cook until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle radishes, scallion, and cilantro over top; serve.

Mini phyllo shells are one of my favorite go-to ingredients because they're a quick and easy way to make big batches of sweet or savory treats and appetizers. -Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, AZ
