Papalote de Frijol

Papalote de Frijol is a traditional Mexican snack that features a delightful combination of seasoned black beans wrapped in a light, paleo-friendly tortilla. This dish is not only nutritious but also packed with flavor, making it a perfect on-the-go snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

• Black beans - 200 grams, cooked and drained
• Coconut flour - 50 grams
• Water - 100 ml
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, juiced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, olive oil, and salt. Gradually add water until a dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a thin tortilla using a rolling pin or your hands.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each tortilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Set aside.
4. In a bowl, mash the cooked black beans with garlic powder, cumin, and lime juice until slightly chunky but spreadable.
5. Spread a generous amount of the black bean mixture onto each tortilla, then top with avocado slices and chopped cilantro.
6. Fold the tortillas over to form a half-moon shape, pressing gently to secure the filling. Serve warm.
