Enfrijoladas De Frijoles Negros Recipes

ENFRIJOLADAS

Steps:

• Add all of the sauce ingredients to a blender and process until smooth and pureed.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and have ready a greased 9x13" casserole dish.
• Spoon just enough of the black bean sauce to the bottom of the dish and pour the remaining sauce into a shallow bowl or dish.
• Stack 4-6 tortillas and wrap loosely in damp paper towels. Microwave for about 30 seconds, just until the tortillas are warmed through. Repeat with any remaining corn tortillas.
• Dip a corn tortilla into bowl of sauce to coat. Then, transfer to a work surface and add a generous tablespoon of cheese down the center. Roll the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Once all the tortillas have been assembled, pour the remaining black bean sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

ENFRIJOLADAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the beans, garlic, chipotles and salt to a blender and puree until smooth. Add stock (or water) until the puree has the consistency of a thick soup. Taste for seasoning and heat level.
• Warm the corn tortillas in the oven or microwave. Place a big dollop of bean puree on a plate. Dredge one side of a tortilla in the bean puree. Flip the tortilla and fill with onion and cheese. Roll tight and place in a baking dish seam side down (add some puree to the baking dish to prevent sticking).
• Continue rolling all of the tortillas -- this batch was enough for 8 rolled tortillas.
• Cover the tortillas in the baking dish with the remaining bean puree. Bake at 425F for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
• Serve immediately and top with your choice of avocado, cheese, cilantro and Crema.

CUBAN BLACK BEANS (FRIJOLES NEGROS)

Steps:

• Combine black beans in a large pot over medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic, sugar, bay leaf, sazon seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Stir in onion and bell pepper. Cover pot and simmer until flavors are well combined and onions and bell peppers are cooked thoroughly, 8 to 15 minutes.
• Remove lid and adjust seasoning.

ENFRIJOLADAS

Steps:

• In a large soup pot or Dutch oven combine the black beans with their soaking water (they should be submerged by at least 1 1/2 inches of water; add if necessary), one half of the onion, and half the garlic and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 1 hour. Add the remaining garlic, epazote or cilantro if using, cumin, chili powder, and salt to taste and simmer for another hour, until the beans are very soft and the broth thick, soupy and aromatic. Remove from the heat. Remove and discard the onion.
• Using an immersion blender or a food processor fitted with the steel blade coarsely puree the beans. The mixture should retain some texture and the consistency should be thick and creamy. Heat through, stirring the bottom of the pot so the beans don't stick. Taste and adjust salt. Keep warm.
• Slice the remaining onion half crosswise into thin half-moons and cover with cold water while you assemble the enfrijoladas. Heat the corn tortillas: either wrap them in a damp dish towel and heat them, 4 at a time, in the microwave for about 30 seconds at 100 percent power, or wrap in a dish towel and steam for 1 minute, then let rest for 5 minutes.
• Assemble the enfrijoladas just before serving them. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the hot, thick beans over the bottom of a large lightly oiled baking dish or serving platter. Using tongs, dip a softened tortilla into the beans and flip over to coat both sides with black beans. Remove from the beans and place on the baking dish or platter (this is messy; have the serving dish right next to the pot.) Fold into quarters. Use the tongs to do this, and if you find that the tortilla tears too much, then just coat one side with the black beans, transfer to the baking dish and spoon some of the black beans over the other side, then fold into quarters. Continue with the remaining tortillas, arranging the quartered bean-coated tortillas in overlapping rows. When all of the tortillas are in the dish, spoon the remaining black bean sauce over the top. Drain and rinse the onions, dry briefly on paper towels and sprinkle over the bean sauce. Garnish with cilantro and chopped walnuts if desired and serve at once.

ABUELO PELáEZ'S FRIJOLES NEGROS (BLACK BEANS)

Steps:

• In a large pot, soak beans overnight in 10 cups of water.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil, the onion, bell pepper, garlic cloves and bay leaf to beans, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour, checking regularly and skimming the foam that forms on top.
• Meanwhile, make the sofrito. Warm remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the half onion, 1 bell pepper and 3 garlic cloves and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft. Add 1 bay leaf, cumin, oregano, black pepper and salt, and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Add the sofrito to beans. Stir in sherry vinegar, wine and olives, and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened and cooked through. Remove both bay leaves, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and add sugar. Serve as soup or a side dish, or over white rice.

ENFRIJOLADAS

Steps:

• Using 2 Tbsp. oil, brush both sides of each tortilla. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, cook until lightly browned and starting to crisp, about 1 minute per side. Set aside.
• Heat remaining 3 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over medium-high. Cook chorizo, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 7-9 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.
• Add garlic and ½ onion to same skillet, season with salt, and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender and beginning to brown, 6-8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer garlic mixture to a blender; reserve pan with oil. Add beans and broth to blender and purée until smooth (it should be the consistency of yogurt); season with salt.
• Set reserved pan over medium-high and heat oil. Transfer bean purée to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Working one at a time and using tongs, dip tortillas in bean purée, turning to coat and leaving until softened, about 3 seconds per side (they will soften more as they sit). Transfer to a baking sheet as you go. Spoon 1 Tbsp. chorizo and 1 Tbsp. queso fresco across the center of each tortilla; fold over like a taco.
• Divide among plates and spoon remaining bean purée over. Top with cilantro, avocado, more onion, remaining chorizo, and remaining queso.

FRIJOLES NEGROS

Steps:

• Rinse beans and pick over. In a 4-quart heavy saucepan soak beans in water to cover by 2 inches for 1 day.
• Bring soaked beans to a boil in water, adding more water if necessary to cover by 1 1/2 inches. Skim any foam from surface of water and gently simmer beans, partially covered, over low heat 1 hour, or until beans are just tender but not falling apart.
• In a large heavy skillet cook bacon over moderate heat, turning slices, until golden and crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Add 1 tablespoon bacon fat to beans, reserving bacon and any remaining rendered fat for another use.
• Finely chop onion and bell pepper and stir into beans with remaining ingredients. Gently simmer beans, partially covered, 2 to 3 hours more, or until beans are tender and liquid is thickened. Discard bay leaves. Cool beans, uncovered, and chill, covered, at least 1 day and up to 5.
