Tlayuda With Black Bean Puree (Aka Mexican Unpizza)

Mon, 28 Aug 2006 22:30:07 -0400

This is the genuine article, an Oaxacan specialty. Not to be called pizza. Better than the sum of its parts, the texture is key. I served with a Louisiana hot sauce, you may want to serve with salsa if you are not into things too hot. Other beans would also work well with this. As published in the NY Times. By Mark Bittman, the Minimalist. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

This is the second portion of making the Quick Cowboy Beans. The first portion, Frijoles de la Olla Tradicional Recipe # 222108 explains the Mexican way of cooking Pinto Beans. This is a quick version of the beans that are typically served in taquerias. They can be as smokey, spicy as you want, super satisfying version of the plain Jane brothy beans. -- posted by Witch Doctor

Frijoles De La Olla Tradicional (Home Cooked Beans)

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 23:27:20 -0400

This recipe is the first portion of making Frijoles Charros Rapidos (Quick Cowboy Beans)Recipe #221894. This is my version of cooking Pinto Beans. To Soak or Not: Mexican cooks dont soak beans because they know that throwing out the soaking liquid isnt good. It doesnt do much to make them more digestible and it makes the beans turn out pale in color and flavor. Variations: Cut 1 ½ to 2 pounds of boneless pork shoulder roast into 1 inch cubes. Spread on a baking sheet and slide close up under a hot broiler. In about 5 minutes, when the meat is brown, turn over and brown the other side. Transfer to a slow cooker or large pot. Prepare the recipe as described, with the addition of the meat. Serve in deep bowls with salsa, a salad and warm tortillas. -- posted by Witch Doctor

Pinto Bean Soup With Fresh Salsa

Sun, 03 Jun 2007 23:14:07 -0400

Despite its creamy taste, this simply prepared soup is surprisingly low in fat. A cantina cook might well make up a batch from the previous days leftover beans. It is the perfect antidote to a blustery day, and the fresh, sharp garnish contrasts nicely with the natural richness of the beans. -- posted by Witch Doctor

I currently live in Arizona and I have a brother in law who is from Mexico and taught me a very good and easy way to make authentic refried beans. These are my favorite! I can't stand canned refried beans. I hope you enjoy! -- posted by Emmas_Mom

Pepián Zapoteco (Zapotec Pumpkin Seed Sauce)

Fri, 08 May 2009 11:25:10 -0400

Adapted from Saveur. This very traditional mesoamerican sauce shows the influence of Oaxaca's location on the southern coast of Mexico. Serve this sauce over baked or fried chicken. Ingredient notes: There's really no substitute for epazote, so if you can't find it, just omit it. If Mexican anise is not available, asian star anise can be substituted. Arbol chiles are hot, so you may want to protect your hands when you are removing the stems and seeds, and be careful not to wipe your eyes or mouth. You can start with canned rather than dry beans, and skip the first step. -- posted by realbirdlady
