Easy 2 ingredient Black Bean Burritos

[Gloria Bonde]

This is my "go to recipe" when I have no time or nothing planned. Serve with warm corn or flour tortillas. Garnish with shredded cheese and shedded salad or coleslaw mix

1 can rinsed and drained black beans
1/2 can (8oz) El Pato Tomato Sauce. El Pato is a well seasoned Mexican Tomato Sauce
Mix together and heat and serve.

I have served this to company. Adding some onions, tomatoes. Then serving it with homemade whole wheat tortillas or better yet flat bread cooked over a griddle like a tortilla. Served with cheese, avocado and shredded lettuce or coleslaw mix.

This sounds fantastic especially as a vegetarian option. Can you bake this...like enchilada style?

Pixie Dust, I usually just pass the tortillas and have everyone fill their own. But, I have made enchilada sauce with the El Pato Sauce as an ingredient.. Make sure to buy the yellow can, not the green can (the green is jalapeno) and is hot! - Here is a good home made Enchilada Sauce: I love to use the dry Ancho Chile for enchilada sauce. Ancho Chile is a big dark red, crinkly-looking chile. It is sweeter,mild, taste rich and smells yummy.
You rinse 4 dry chiles of its seeds. Place in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them soak for about 40 minutes or so. Put into a food processor with an onion and 1 clove garlic blend well. Combine with the yellow can El Pato sauce, or you could use peeled tomatoes (fresh or canned). Puree well. Pour into a sauce pan, add about a cup of water or so that you use to rinse out the processor add a tablespoon of oil and cook about 10 minutes or so until the raw taste is gone. Salt to taste. My mother and my grandmother would make this sauce and would have to run it through a strainer. What a red messy pain. That was before the days of our amazing food processors. My mother use to say, it was a lazy cook who would have pieces of chile skin in her sauces.

I love to make black bean quesadillas with feta cheese. Fortunately, I live where wonderful salsas are available and I love DL Jardin's salsas.

I like Jardine's too -- and the Salsa Bobos in particular.

Yum - with Feta cheese! love Feta, When I was a little girl I used to watch my grandfather make a crumbly Mexican cheese that he would press into a circle. Glad we have local groceries.

I have done the same thing for years.. so quick and healthy. I mash the black beans, and mix with El Patio sauce or Salsa. Then I offer grated purple cabbage, chopped Cilantro, Grated Cheddar, chopped Red Onion, bean sprouts, and sliced or mashed Avocado for toppings. It is a great meal on wheat or flavored Tortillas. I usually make Mexican Rice to go along, or serve sliced fresh fruits like pineapple and canteloupe.

Wow Lighthouse9 - Great minds... - El Pato sauce (yellow can) really does have a great Mexican balanced flavors and is so easy. Here I thought I had made this up! - Actually, my mother used this sauce for lots of things. She would make up her own chorizo and this would be one the ingredients.
