Best Tortillas With Eggs And Spicy Bean Chili Recipes

MIGAS RECIPE: MEXICAN SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH CRISPY TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan and add the corn tortillas. Fry them lightly in the hot oil until they crisp up, flipping a bit, about 4-5 minutes. Remove them from the pan and set them into paper towels to drain. Sprinkle them with a bit of salt while they are hot.
• Next, add the peppers and onion to the hot pan and cook them down about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato, then pour in the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir.
• Cook the eggs, stirring here and there, about 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs just begin to set.
• Remove from heat and stir in the reserved crispy tortillas and shredded cheese.
• Top with spicy chili flakes, extra sliced peppers and avocado. And hot sauce if desired!

SPICY BEAN TACOS

Steps:

• For the spicy pinto beans: Soak the pinto beans in water to cover overnight. Drain and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large enameled Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and pepper and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, cumin, paprika, guajillo chile, cayenne if using and enough water to just cover the beans and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with the lid slightly ajar. Cook until just tender, about 1 hour, checking the water level every so often and adding more water if the mixture dries out. Stir in 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Add the flour and butter to a small cast-iron skillet and stir to create a paste. Cook over medium-low heat until the paste forms a golden roux, about 3 minutes.
• Remove the guajillo chile from the beans, stir in the roux and bring back to a simmer. Add the cheese and tomatoes, then continue to cook until the mixture thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• For the cabbage: In a small bowl, combine the cabbage, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• For the tacos: To each taco shell or tortilla, add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the spicy bean filling and some avocado slices and cabbage. Drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons Mexican sour cream. Serve immediately.
• Roll the masa into twelve 1-ounce balls; cover them with damp paper towels.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Line a tortilla press with a piece of plastic wrap or a self-sealing bag that has been cut so that only the bottom is still attached. Put one of the dough balls slightly off center in the press and close to flatten. Carefully peel the tortilla from the plastic.
• Cook in 30-second increments, turning a few times, until warmed through and lightly toasted. Keep warm wrapped in clean kitchen towels and repeat with the remaining masa, stacking and rewrapping the tortillas so that they steam and stay pliable.

CHIPOTLE BEAN CHILLI WITH BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and cook the onion for about 5 mins until soft. Add the chipotle paste, beans, tomatoes and sugar, and simmer for about 15-20 mins until thickened. Season to taste.
• Make 4 holes and crack an egg into each one. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 8-10 mins until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Sprinkle with coriander leaves and serve with a bowl of soured cream and some warm flour tortillas.

GREEN CHILE TORTILLA SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir tortilla strips and green chile peppers until strips are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs and Cheddar cheese; cook and stir until eggs are cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.

MEXICAN CHILLI BEAN TORTILLA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion for 2 mins. Add 1 can of the beans and heat for a further 2-3 mins, while mashing into the onions with a masher or fork to make a rough paste.
• Add the remaining can of beans, the tomatoes, courgettes, paprika and 5 tbsp water. Cover and very gently simmer for 10 mins until thickened and pulpy, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with lime juice, salt and pepper, then stir in the coriander. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry frying pan, then lay out with the chilli beans, shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber and soured cream dip. Ask everyone to help themselves: fill, roll and eat!
