Instructions

  1. 1

    Blend the cooked black beans with their broth, chicken broth, and garlic clove until you get a completely smooth, pourable sauce, adding more broth if needed.

  2. 2

    Heat the bean sauce in a wide skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until it thickens slightly but remains pourable like a thin gravy.

  3. 3

    Warm the corn tortillas on a dry griddle or comal for about 30 seconds per side until they are pliable and lightly toasted, stacking them wrapped in a towel.

  4. 4

    Dip each warm tortilla into the hot bean sauce to coat both sides, fold in half or into quarters, and arrange overlapping on a serving plate.

  5. 5

    Ladle extra bean sauce over the folded tortillas, then top with crumbled queso fresco, drizzle with crema, and garnish with onion rings and fresh cilantro.
