INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons freshly rendered pork lard OR bacon fat OR rendered fat from chorizo
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 1 can black beans
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled Mexican queso fresco or other fresh cheese such as feta or goat cheese
  • 1 cup Avocado-Tomatillo Salsa
  • A few sprigs cilantro for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Film the bottom of a large (3-quart) sauce pan with the lard or oil and set over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add in the black beans. Using a potato masher, mash the beans into a coarse texture and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the avocado-tomatillo salsa.

Scoop the beans into warm corn tortillas and garnish with cheese, salsa and cilantro.
