Really good weekday dish. We cut out a LOT of steps to make this easier on us as well as healthier. Served with a simple side salad

Main ingredients: white corn tortillas, black beans, white onion, garlic, queso fresco, epazote or oregano, bay leaf, vegetable oil, rendered pork fat or bacon grease, dried avocado leaves, Kosher salt, store bought salsa

Rajas variation: poblano chiles, white onion, garlic, vegetable oil, dried oregano, Kosher salt

Chorizo variation: chorizo, eggs, vegetable oil, Kosher salt

Tips/Notes:

• Used canned black beans
• Did NOT fry the beans
• Added some salsa macha we already have on top 
• Heated up some healthy Siete taco shells
• Roasted the poblanos in the oven
• Used plant-based chorizo
