1/2 tsp. ground chipotle chili peppers

Thanks for your recipe, Jill.

I do the same sort of thing to have with eggs and tortillas for breakfast (I
like gorditas - thicker tortillas).
Open a can of black beans (I like Goya)

Fry a little onion and garlic in a skillet in whatever oil you like, put the
beans in and heat thoroughly. DH mashes them up a little with a fork. I
keep a glass mason jar container of chipotle peppers in adobe sauce (from a
can) in the refrigerator. I add about a tsp. of this to the beans and heat
a little more. (You don't have to mash the beans, leave them whole.)

Put a little cheese over the top. Add a slice or two of avocado if you have
it handy.

I usually make my black bean soup cuban style (at least that's how I
know it) - topped with cookedrrice, sour cream, and diced onions. This
sounds like a nice alternative.

I also like black beans and brown rice flavored with tomato and orange
juice and green peppers and onions. I can post the recipe if anyone
wants it - it's delicious.

Thanks for another good 'beany' option!

Do you have a good recipe for gorditas? I'd love to give fresh ones a
whirl.

I sure would not use canned beans, dried are so much better. And bbs has to
have cumin and lots of fresh garlic! I don't use chicken stock either--but I
do agree with the peppers and cheese!

And we agree that black beans are delish. And nutritionally packed, too.

No, I don't. I buy them from a global-type market that sells all different
kinds of tortillas. The ones I buy, however, really look homemade. I've
had several different brands, and the last brand I bought is the best.
Usually I scan a brand, but evidently I didn't.

Exactly the same recipe as regular corn tortillias, only formed about
double thickness, and when cooked they puff forming a pocket similar to
pita.

Gorditas also refer to 'thick' Latinas.

There are a lot of options for black beans in flavoring. They are a global
bean and support many 'different' herbs and spices and additions.

Dried beans may be much better, but I am not able to make dried as good as
any canned Goya's. The only kind of beans that have been successful for my
tastes, cooked from the dried state, is Anazazi beans purchased in
Arizona. They are the best dried beans I've ever had. I found them again
about ten years ago in a natural food store in CT. They were not that great
(and also $3.09#).

Sounds delicious. I'd dump in a can of green chiles just for good measure.

You have deconstructed chilaquiles.
