Enfrijoladas are a delicious Mexican dish made with corn tortillas dipped in a flavorful black bean sauce and topped with cheese, crema, and garnishes. This easy recipe is perfect for a vegetarian meal that’s full of flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Black Bean Sauce:

  • 2 cups cooked black beans (or 1 can, drained)
  • 1/2 cup bean cooking liquid or vegetable broth
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 onion (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Enfrijoladas:

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 1/2 cup crema or sour cream
  • Chopped onion, cilantro, and avocado for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Black Bean Sauce: In a blender, combine black beans, bean liquid or broth, garlic, onion, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth and pourable.
  2. Simmer the Bean Sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat, then pour in the bean sauce and simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Prepare the Tortillas: In a separate pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each tortilla for about 10 seconds per side to soften (optional but traditional).
  4. Assemble the Enfrijoladas: Dip each tortilla into the warm bean sauce, then fold or roll onto a serving plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  5. Top and Serve: Top enfrijoladas with crumbled queso fresco, a drizzle of crema, and your choice of garnishes like chopped onion, avocado, or cilantro. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can fill enfrijoladas with shredded chicken, scrambled eggs, or sautéed veggies before folding.
  • Pinto beans can be used instead of black beans.
