TURKEY BARBACOA TACOS WITH BLACK BEANS RECIPE

• Toast sesame seeds in a dry large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat, stirring, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender.
• Place skillet over medium-high heat and add tomatoes, garlic, and 4 onion halves and cook, turning often, until softened and charred in spots, 5-8 minutes. Transfer tomatoes to blender; set onions and garlic aside.
• Cook chiles in same skillet, turning often, until darkened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add to blender. Once cool enough to handle, peel garlic and onion and add to blender along with 1 tablespoon salt. Blend until smooth.
