Roasted poblano chiles and sauteed onion bring intense flavor to these vegetarian tacos. The kidney beans and corn tortillas have complementary amino acids that together form complete proteins like those available from meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, and eggs.

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 fresh poblano chiles (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup drained canned pinto beans, rinsed
1/4 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought vegetable stock
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 cup fromage blanc or plain nonfat yogurt
12 corn tortillas (6 inches each), warmed
Lime wedges, for serving
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler, with the rack 6 inches from the heat source. Place chiles on a baking sheet. Broil, flipping once, until charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 15 minutes. Remove skins and seeds, and discard. Cut chiles into 1/2-inch-thick strips, and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent and pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in beans, stock, and salt. Using a heatproof rubber spatula, fold in chiles; cook until chiles are warmed though, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; stir in 1 tablespoon fromage blanc. Spoon into the warm tortillas. Top with remaining 3 tablespoons fromage blanc, dividing evenly. Serve with lime, and garnish with cilantro.

BLACK BEAN AND POBLANO TACOS



Black Bean and Poblano Tacos image

There are many kinds of tacos, some piled high and overstuffed and some more minimal, meant to be more a snack than a meal. These little tacos are in the second category, similar to what you might find in a Mexican market for a quick bite. Savory black beans and roasted poblano chiles make a satisfying vegetarian version. Fresh soft corn tortillas, hot off the griddle, are essential.

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound black beans, rinsed and soaked 4 to 6 hours, or overnight if possible
1 small onion, halved
1 bay leaf
1 large sprig epazote (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
4 poblano chiles
Soft corn tortillas
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella or Oaxacan-style string cheese, shredded
1/2 pound queso fresco, available in Latino groceries
8 ounces crème fraîche or Mexican crema

Steps:

  • Drain beans, put in medium pot, add water to cover and bring to a boil over hight heat. Add onion, bay leaf, epazote and salt and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 1 hour, longer if necessary, adding water occasionally if liquid falls below surface of beans. When beans are tender, taste and adjust salt. Keep beans warm in their broth.
  • Meanwhile, roast poblano chiles over a charcoal grill, under the broiler or directly on a gas stovetop burners until skins are completely blackened and blistered. Set chiles aside to cool, then split lengthwise. Scrape away skins and seeds with a paring knife. Cut cleaned chiles into 1/2-inch ribbons, transfer to small bowl and season lightly with salt.
  • To serve, warm the tortillas on a hot griddle or cast iron pan over a burner. Put 2 warm tortillas side by side on a small plate. With a slotted spoon, place 2 tablespoons beans on each tortilla. Top with a few shreds of mozzarella and 2 or 3 strips of poblano. Crumble a little queso fresco and drizzle about 1 teaspoon crème fraîche on each taco.

PINTO BEANS WITH MEXICAN-STYLE SEASONINGS



Pinto Beans With Mexican-Style Seasonings image

Pinto beans are simmered with onion, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and garlic. I love making these beans just because they make the whole house smell so good, and the longer they simmer the better they taste. You could add 1/2 can of beer to make 'borracho' beans. I personally taste-test throughout the entire cooking process and add extra seasoning as I feel it needs it. These beans could simmer all day long; just make sure they have plenty of water to keep the beans covered.
