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
- In a frying pan heat a few drops of garlic olive oil and fry each tortilla for a minute or so a side.
- 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.
- Divide the chorizo the cold contents of one cans of refried beans and layer each tortilla with an equal share as in the photo.
- Lay them in an ovenproof dish
- 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
- Pour the bean mixture between the tortillas, add a drizzle of garlic olive oil over the top and cover with the grated cheese
- Bake in the over for 30 minutes and finish under the grill if you like your cheese toasty
-
Fill each tortilla with chorizo and refried beans
