Beans was the theme to kick off the 2024 Reddit 52weeksofcooking challenge! I only really like black beans, so I was happy to find a recipe that utilized them as a main component. 

After not cooking for the last part of winter break (I took a break after marathon cooking for Christmas), I was excited to get back in the game. I had planned to cook this on New Year's Eve, but, like everyone else it seems, my husband and I got sick on the 30th. We had a recovery day for New Year's Eve, which meant New Year's Day was a little stressful. We had the duck bowl game, cleaning up Xmas decor and prepping for back to school ugh😩. The recipe said it was an under 30 minute meal so I figured it wouldn't be too stressful....

The actual recipe isn't difficult. I did add chorizo, but that only added a few minutes to cook. The frying the tortillas did add some time though, and extra dishes. I wouldn't skip that part though, otherwise the tortillas wouldn't hold up for the dipping into the black bean sauce part. It ended up taking me about 45 minutes start to finish.

Next time, I would add more chorizo and more queso fresco. The sauce was delicious! 

Would I make it again rating: 7/10
