Method
 

How to Make Enfrijoladas
  1. In a blender, combine pinto beans, bean broth, chipotle peppers, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding more broth if necessary.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each corn tortilla for about 1 minute per side until golden brown, then place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  3. Take each fried tortilla and dip it into the bean sauce, allowing any excess to drip off. Fill with about 2 tablespoons of queso fresco and fold in half.
  4. As you assemble the enfrijoladas, keep the filled tortillas warm by covering them with foil. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until all are filled.
  5. Serve the enfrijoladas topped with diced onion, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and jalapeños.
