4 cups cooked pinto beans, (Frijoles De La Olla, recipe follows) drained
3 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 plum tomato, roughly chopped
1 medium serrano chile, seeded and minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded Manchego, Swiss or Monterrey Jack cheese
Mexican crema or regular sour cream, for drizzling
2 thin slices red onion, separated into rings

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Rub the oregano, between palms of your hands and sprinkle over the beans. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Add the beans and broth to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool the beans for about 5 minutes before putting them in the blender. Carefully, pour the mixture into a blender and puree. Return the pureed mixture to the pan and gently reheat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.

Fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Fold in half and arrange them, overlapping, in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Top with an additional 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the bean sauce, just enough to cover the beans but allow the edges of the folded tortillas to show. Bake until cheese is melted about 10 to 15 minutes.
