Beans without Borders

A recipe contributed by Tex-Mex Dude

Ingredients

  • 1 can of black beans
  • 1 can of red beans
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 2 large tomatoes
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 4 soft corn tortillas
  • 100 grams of grated cheese
  • 3 spoons of olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Cut the soft corn tortillas in four pieces each and use one spoon of olive oil to brush the tortilla pieces. Place the tortilla pieces in an oven tray and cook them for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.

Dice the onion, bell pepper and garlic cloves. Preheat a pan to medium high and add two spoons of olive oil along with the diced onion, bell pepper and garlic. Stir fry until the onion and green pepper are cooked and soft. Chop the tomatoes and drain black and red beans until most of the water is removed. Add chopped tomatoes and beans to the pan. Add salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste. Continue cooking until the mixture is hot while stirring carefully to avoid smashing the beans.

Serve individual portions in dishes, placing the tortilla chips in the bottom and the bean preparation on top. Garnish with a grated cheese of your choice.
