Number Of Ingredients 10

6 fresh poblano chiles (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup drained canned pinto beans, rinsed
1/4 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought vegetable stock
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 cup fromage blanc or plain nonfat yogurt
12 corn tortillas (6 inches each), warmed
Lime wedges, for serving
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler, with the rack 6 inches from the heat source. Place chiles on a baking sheet. Broil, flipping once, until charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 15 minutes. Remove skins and seeds, and discard. Cut chiles into 1/2-inch-thick strips, and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent and pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in beans, stock, and salt. Using a heatproof rubber spatula, fold in chiles; cook until chiles are warmed though, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; stir in 1 tablespoon fromage blanc. Spoon into the warm tortillas. Top with remaining 3 tablespoons fromage blanc, dividing evenly. Serve with lime, and garnish with cilantro.

BLACK BEAN AND POBLANO TACOS



Black Bean and Poblano Tacos image

There are many kinds of tacos, some piled high and overstuffed and some more minimal, meant to be more a snack than a meal. These little tacos are in the second category, similar to what you might find in a Mexican market for a quick bite. Savory black beans and roasted poblano chiles make a satisfying vegetarian version. Fresh soft corn tortillas, hot off the griddle, are essential.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound black beans, rinsed and soaked 4 to 6 hours, or overnight if possible

1 teaspoon salt
4 poblano chiles
Soft corn tortillas
