🇲🇽 Mexican

A crunchy shell gives way to tender black beans — the mexican street-snack everyone fights over. 36 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Ingredients

Vegetable Oilfor deep-frying
Eggs2, beaten
All-Purpose Flour100 g
Corn Tortillas8
Ground Cumin1 tsp
Breadcrumbs150 g
Black Beans2 cans
Queso Fresco80 g
Refried Beans300 g

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantrohandful, to finish

Instructions

1
Pat the black beans dry and season with the ground cumin and a little salt.
2
Set up a breading line: flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs — press the crumbs on firmly.
3
Heat 4-5 cm of oil to 180°C; a breadcrumb dropped in should sizzle straight away.
4
Fry the black beans in small batches until deep golden, 3-4 minutes per batch.
5
Drain on a rack, never on paper, and serve hot with fresh cilantro scattered over.

Chef's tip

Keep the oil at a steady 180°C — too cool and the coating goes greasy.
