Papalote de Frijoles

Papalote de Frijoles is a delightful vegan Mexican appetizer that features black beans wrapped in a corn tortilla and grilled to perfection. This dish is a perfect blend of rich flavors and textures, making it a satisfying starter for any meal.

Ingredients

• Black beans - 200 grams (cooked)
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Red onion - 50 grams (finely chopped)
• Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• Cilantro - 20 grams (chopped)
• Lime - 1 (juiced)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Avocado - 1 (sliced, for garnish)
• Salsa - 100 grams (for serving)

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the cooked black beans to the skillet, along with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
4. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
5. Place a generous spoonful of the black bean mixture in the center of each tortilla, fold the sides over, and roll it up tightly to form a burrito-like shape.
6. Grill the wrapped tortillas on a hot grill pan for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they get nice grill marks and are slightly crispy.
7. Serve the Papalote de Frijoles warm, garnished with sliced avocado and accompanied by salsa.
