Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 12 servings (24 small enchilada cups)

Number Of Ingredients 19

24 small corn tortillas
One 14-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
One 10-ounce can red enchilada sauce
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup raw corn, cut off the cob, or frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Fresh cilantro, chopped or in sprigs, for garnish
Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish
Sour cream, for garnish
Pico de gallo, for garnish
Guacamole 3 Ways, for garnish, recipe follows
3 ripe avocados
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup diced red onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds, plus extra for serving
2 roasted jalapenos, diced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, plus extra for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Microwave the stack of tortillas for 30 seconds, flipping halfway through. Tuck 1 tortilla into each cup of 2 standard 12-cup muffin pans, gently pleating the edges of the tortillas so that they fit snugly. Roll 24 small balls of aluminum foil and place them insides the cups; they'll help the tortillas hold their shape. Bake until the tortilla cups have hardened slightly on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly. (Leave the oven on.)
  • Meanwhile, combine the black beans, enchilada sauce, chicken and corn in a large mixing bowl. Toss until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Carefully spoon the filling into each cup until it is filled nearly to the brim. Sprinkle the cheeses on top of each tortilla cup. Bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is warmed through, about 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the top of each cup evenly with desired garnishes and serve warm.
  • Mash the avocados with the lime juice. Mix in the onion and season with salt and pepper. Flavor with one of the 3 following options.
  • For pomegranate guacamole, fold in the pomegranate seeds. Top with more seeds before serving.
  • For roasted jalapeno guacamole, fold in the diced roasted jalapenos.
  • For feta guacamole, fold in the feta cheese. Top with more feta before serving.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes
1 medium white onion, cut into quarters
2 jalapenos
2 cloves garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, plus more chopped and whole leaves for serving
1/4 cup safflower oil
6 corn tortillas
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
6 large eggs, room temperature
3 radishes, thinly sliced
1 scallion, trimmed and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat broiler with rack in top position. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, rotating sheet and flipping vegetables frequently, until blistered and slightly softened, 6 to 8 minutes. (If garlic is browning too quickly, remove it early.) Move oven rack to center and reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Discard garlic skins and jalapeno stems (for a mild salsa, remove seeds as well). In a food processor, pulse garlic and vegetables until coarsely pureed. Season with salt and pepper; pulse just to combine. Add cilantro; pulse to combine. Salsa can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • In a 12-inch oven-proof skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Once hot, add 2 tortillas and fry, turning once, until they begin to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Fry remaining tortillas in two more batches. Reduce heat to medium; add 2 1/2 cups salsa to skillet. (It will splatter slightly.) Cook until bright red and slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add beans; cook 1 minute more. Transfer mixture to a heatproof bowl.
  • Line bottom of skillet with tortillas; top with salsa-bean mixture. Make 6 wells in mixture with the back of a spoon. Crack 1 egg into each well. Transfer to oven; cook until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle radishes, scallion, and cilantro over top; serve.

Time 2h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup finely chopped onion
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
½ cup prepared salsa
1 (6 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 cups chicken broth
1 pound ground beef
¾ cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ cup prepared red enchilada sauce
½ cup beef broth
½ cup shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
cooking spray
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • To make the spicy red sauce, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir 1/2 cup of onion until the onion is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 4 teaspoons of garlic, and cook and stir until fragrant, another 3 to 5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning the garlic. Stir in the oregano, 3 1/2 teaspoons of chili powder, basil, salt and black pepper, 1 teaspoon of cumin, the dried cilantro, salsa, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and chicken broth until the sauce is smoothly combined.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer about 30 minutes, stirring often, until the flavors have blended and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • While spicy red sauce is simmering, cook and stir the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the meat is evenly browned. Break the meat up into crumbles as it cooks, and drain off excess grease. Mix in 3/4 cup of onion, 1 tablespoon of garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin into the meat, and cook and stir until the onions are softened and the meat mixture is fragrant with spices, 5 to 10 more minutes. Stir in the enchilada sauce and beef broth; simmer for 5 more minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of Mexican cheese blend, and allow the cheese to melt into the meat sauce. Reduce heat to low, and simmer the meat sauce for 30 more minutes to thicken.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Spray both sides of each tortilla with cooking spray, stack up the tortillas with a piece of aluminum foil between each tortilla, and wrap the stack with aluminum foil. Place the tortillas into the preheated oven to warm, about 10 minutes.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the spicy red sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Fill each tortilla with the meat sauce, reserving about 1/2 cup of the meat sauce; roll the tortillas into enchiladas, and arrange in the baking dish, seam sides down. Pour the remaining spicy red sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the reserved 1/2 cup of meat mixture, and top with remaining 2 cups of Mexican cheese blend.
  • Bake until the cheese topping is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cilantro to serve.
