‘Enfrijoladas’ filled with Scrambled Eggs, Chorizo and Cheese

Ingredients 

  • 1 ½ cups cooked bayo beans (or pintos, or black), drained
  • ¼ cup chipotle chilies adobados, from a can
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup white onion, diced
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 12 oz chorizo (Mexican crumbled sausage)
  • ½ cup white onion, diced
  • 1 serrano pepper, finely diced
  • ½ garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup diced tomato
  • 7 eggs
  • 12 tortillas
  • butter and oil (if needed)
  • 1 cup queso fresco, crumbled
  • ½ white onion, sliced in rings
  • 3 tbsp cilantro, chopped

Directions

  1. In blender, liquify sauce ingredients: bayo beans, chipotle chilies, sour cream and chicken broth. Season with salt to taste. Reserve and keep warm.
  2. In hot pan, add oil and cook chorizo at medium heat until cooked through.
  3. Take chorizo out of pan, drain and reserve, keeping warm. Keep rendered fat from chorizo in pan to make eggs.
  4. Using reserved fat, fry onions, serrano, garlic and tomatoes over medium heat until color changes. Season to taste with salt.
  5. Add beaten eggs and scramble. Note: add butter and oil if needed, as sometimes chorizo does not render enough fat.
  6. On different pan, lightly fry tortillas in oil to make pliable.
  7. Fill tortillas with filling. Roll, and set on platter or individual plates.
  8. Top generously with bean sauce.
  9. Finish with cheese and chorizo on top, drizzle with cream, adding onion rings if desired.
  10. Finally, sprinkle with chopped cilantro for color.
