20-Minute Authentic Enfrijoladas Recipe: Classic Mexican Comfort Food

Enfrijoladas are classic Mexican comfort food. Corn tortillas are coated in a black bean puree, filled with cheese and baked. Typically, the meal was made with leftover corn tortillas and beans. What a great use for leftovers and delicious way to get all the health benefits of black beans.

This easy enfrijoladas recipe has minimal prep and bakes in less than 10 minutes. The beans are blended with the chipotles and garlic in a blender. Chicken broth is then added until it is the consistency of thick soup. The bean mixture is put into warmed tortillas and topped with onions and cheese. Roll them up and put them into a baking dish, then cover them with the remaining bean puree. Now you just bake until hot and melty. 

You can use cooked dry black beans or canned black beans. Just be sure to rinse and drain canned black beans well. Add seasoned ground beef or chorizo for a heartier meal.
