Enfrijoladas recipe

Enfrijoladas is a Tex-Mex dish that is similar to enchiladas. The tortillas are slightly fried and filled with frijoles refritos (refried beans) and pork, or in this recipe spicy chorizo. I cheated with the refried beans as I didn't have time to soak them so I used canned, which are ok if but a little too salty. I used Emmental cheese, which is not authentic but I though it would work well. It did. This dish was a huge success.

Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 8 corn tortillas
• 2 cans refried beans (or homemade refried beans)
• 110 g (4 oz) grated Emmenthal cheese, Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 a small jar of pickled jalapeños chillies or to taste
• 150 ml to 200 ml (1/4 pint +) of beef or vegetable stock
• 120 g (4 oz) or a packet of spicy chorizo, sliced
• A handful of fresh coriander, chopped
• 8 tablespoons sour cream
• Garlic olive oil for frying the corn tortillas

Mise en place

• Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F - gas 4)

Method

1. In a frying pan heat a few drops of garlic olive oil and fry each tortilla for a minute or so a side.
2. So you don't use too much oil, turn the first one over after a minute, put the next uncooked one on top of this to soak a little of the oil, flip them both. Remove the cooked one and repeat until they are all done. Add a few more drops of olive oil if the pan is too dry.
3. Divide the chorizo the cold contents of one cans of refried beans and layer each tortilla with an equal share as in the photo.
4. Lay them in an ovenproof dish
5. Heat the remaining tin of beans and add enough stock to make them pourable. This way the bean sauce can get between the tortillas. Stir in the pickled jalapeños
6. Pour the bean mixture between the tortillas, add a drizzle of garlic olive oil over the top and cover with the grated cheese
7. Bake in the over for 30 minutes and finish under the grill if you like your cheese toasty
