How to cook it
-
Blend the beans with the water and salt into a smooth, pourable sauce, thinning with a little more water if needed.
-
Warm the sauce gently in a wide pan, it should coat a spoon but still fall easily.
-
Warm the tortillas one at a time and dip each in the bean sauce until coated, then fold in quarters onto a plate.
-
Repeat with the remaining tortillas, spooning any extra sauce over the top.
-
Finish with crumbled queso fresco and raw onion. This is what a house makes on the fourth day of the bean pot, the exact rhythm of a Mexican kitchen.
