Ingredients:
For Refried Beans:
🥓 2 tbsp pork lard or bacon fat
🧅 ¼ onion, finely chopped
🥄 6 cups cooked pinto beans with liquid
🧂 Salt to taste
For Masita con Chorizo:
🌭 1 lb chorizo (you can adjust as desired)
🧅 ½ onion, diced
🌽 2-3 cups instant corn masa mix (I use Maseca)
🧄 4-6 garlic cloves
🌶️ 1 serrano pepper
💧 Water
🧂 Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Refried Beans:
- In a pan, melt the pork lard or bacon fat over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns transparent.
- Stir in the cooked pinto beans along with their liquid, mashing them with a masher or fork.
- Continue to cook the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. Season with salt to taste.
- Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Make Masita con Chorizo:
- Cook the chorizo in a pan over medium heat until it releases its fat.
- Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes transparent.
- In a mortar or molcajete, crush the garlic cloves and serrano pepper, then add this mixture to the pan.
- Mix the instant corn masa with enough water to create a batter thinner than pancake batter.
- Slowly pour the masa mixture into the pan with chorizo and onion. Stir frequently and cook until the mixture achieves a mashed potato-like consistency.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Assembling the Tacos:
- When your fillings have cooled, place them in the center of a flour tortilla.
- Wrap the tortilla securely in deli paper and foil to keep it fresh and intact during your journey.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure fillings are cooled to room temperature before wrapping to prevent sogginess.
- Use flour tortillas for best results as corn tortillas can become hard when cold.
Servings:
Makes approximately 12 tacos, depending on the size of your fillings and tortillas.
