Love these! Mom did her best to ensure we ate despite our financial limitations that this dish was just one of those dishes to fill our bellies. As kids we really didn't mind it as they are delicious! We actually saw it more as a treat. These days I prep and eat out of nostalgia. Thx for sharing this version 😋

I remember my abuelita 😢

One of life's hardest choices is between enfrijoladas or memelas for breakfast on any given day.

I always give a thumbs up before I even watch the video just out of respect for this great man. What a true gift to Mexican food.

When I was growing up my mother would make her version of enfrijoladas every time money was tight. She used the standard pinto beans and once the beans were perfectly boiled she would fry the beans in lard and smash them with a hand masher. Then she’d ladle the broth in the pan. She would fry each tortilla briefly and then she would put them in the beans and soften them. She would fill the tortilla with some of the smashed beans and add onions and cheese before rolling it up like an enchilada. She’s add cream on top and each of us would add whatever salsa we liked. Needless to say they were delicious. A cheap but satisfying way to feed a family of 6.

Remember the enfrijoladas from my grandmother 🙏

I had these at Frontera Grill last weekend in Chicago, and they were amazing! I'm making them for dinner myself because I was left dreaming about them.

I needed that, thank you

Thank you Rick

Yesterday I did the Enfrojoladas I really appreciate the tip of the tortillas in the bag with oil on the microwave its a real time saver and they go perfectly good. My frijoles sauce was with a red sauce of dry morita and guajillo and a can chipotle. Letting it simmer long enough was the secreat. Thanks.

The sauce looks like mole. Never had these before. Made me hungry!

Thank you Chef. Always appreciate your recipes, knowledge, and skill!

Love your work chef! Thanks for the video! Any chance that in a future video you can show us how to make Chiles en Nogada? In my opinion it's one of the most interesting and unique dishes in the Mexican culinary repertoire.

You make the food of my heart

They look delicious! My family is from Veracruz, and my mom always fills her enfrijoladas with chicken or rabbit meat, and tops them with queso cotija. I usually filled them with turkey meat, and top them with some melting cheese, because I can't get good Mexican cheeses where I am. Goat cheese sound like a fantastic idea. I will try that. Huevos a la Veracruzana (Veracruz style eggs) involve enfrijoladas filled with scrambled eggs, topped with chorizo and slices of serrano chiles--also very recommended :).

We love it with papalo on top, but very difficult to find in the states so I use arugula or sometimes basil.

These look delicious. Little different than how I make them but I will try them this way next time. I add a bit of chipotle pepper when I blend the beans and actually fry the tortillas but will save me some calories following your technique. Can't wait to try them. I love goat cheese!

I tried the tortilla hack with the oil and plastic bag in the microwave and it works great! I'll never fry them in a pan again.

Loving your videos! Do you usually fold the plastic bag over when heating the tortillas in the microwave? Or just lay flat with bag open?

I can't wait to try these, but can't find the actual recipe . You do mention that there is one to refer to. Love being a member.

I don't see anything wrong with using canned beans. I make fresh tortillas from maseca, don't run them through hot oil though I should, coat them in blended beans, fill with queso fresco, fold, top with more beans, cheese, crema, avocado and a little onion. I should add that some of my friends in Mexico made fun of Costena beans. I didn't notice how they have a certain taste until I didn't eat them for a while, but I think canned beans in general work OK. Some of my friends also didn't like to eat chicken that had been frozen. My tastebuds weren't that refined.

Then you didn't learn the lesson. Keep eating your tin metallic beans with all that cream that you love. He clearly says that the flavour, comes from the broth. Canned beans don't have a broth just a saline solution with citric acid or some other preservatives. Cream . . .

Can you use fresh leaves from an avocado tree? Lucky to live in LA where avocado trees abound!

Rick, can you give us a bit more info on what flavors will be missed in the dishes created by the poor souls that don't have access to Epazote, Hoja Sante, Avocado leaf, Banana leaf and such. Banana leaf I´ve been able to find at the Asian grocer and avocado leaf from amazon (but as you predicted, it was almost a powder...) I had some mole Amarillo tacos in Oaxaca last year, with squash blossoms and Hoja Santa leave and I have (in my opinon) been pretty succesfull replicating the Hoja Santa flavor with powdered black birch bark

Anyone know an online source for good Avocado Leaf? Thanks

Enfrijolafas are not just made with black beans. Other regions use other types of beans.

Has anyone tried heating the tortillas in the oven? In foil?

faltó el pollo

I just found out from another Mexican cook, she is actually Mexican, do not add salt to the beans until after they are cooked because if you do the beans are tough. I did this and they were the most creamiest beans I have ever ever experienced, the best beans I have ever tasted. What is your take on this method?

Many people have done side-by-side tests on salting beans. I was taught never to salt them until they were completely done. But honestly, there's no difference. I have seen people do it both ways in Mexico, too.,

Almost the same enfrijoladas 😂

I make a salsa negra so good.. it steals my bike

I've seen recipes that add dry chiles to Black Bean sauce. Is this a thing done in Mexico or a north of the border invention?

Our way of communicating is interesting and bit funny. Immediately if we have a chance to inform someone they are doing wrong we just jump at the opportunity and not necessarily in the best way.🤔🤗🙏

The black bean sauce needs to be a little thicker

I NEVER ever use a microwave in fact I gave mine away, highly toxic and changes the value and credibility of foods.. Would you please show folks who do not use microwaves the way to warm or whatever using toaster ovens? If you do not have a toaster oven that is nuts, they are the BEST and no more do I use my stove oven they do every function and more than a stove oven these days. Toaster ovens are no longer clunkers like in the beginning days of their creation, they actually replace the stove ovens and more. Look into them if you have not and get that microwave out of your house, lol.

Imagine being afraid of microwaves while shit posting on a phone excreting more radiation to sell your information. I wonder if she knows about those dangerous infrared waves the toaster oven radiates. Get an air fryer already. So normally you warm up some lard and cook the tortilla until it is soft and pliable. Then you can pass them through the bean mole without them breaking apart. Don't fry them, or you'll get chips. Kind of like a quick high temperature tortilla confit.
