Pan De Cazón Shredded Fish And Black Beans Tortillas Food

FRIED BLACK BEAN FILLED TORTILLAS (PANUCHOS)

Steps:

• Using a 5-inch round cookie cutter, cut a smaller tortilla out of each tortilla. Save the scraps for making chilaquiles, tortilla soup, etc. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Then add the beans to warm and soften, about 5 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid burning. Turn the heat off and reserve.
• In a large saute pan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. While the oil is heating, form the panuchos. Start by spreading 1 tablespoon of warmed beans on the surface of the tortilla. Stack the second tortilla over it pressing on the edges to seal. Remove the excess beans on the side of the panucho. Working in batches, fry the panuchos until golden in color, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.

PAN DE CAZóN (SHREDDED FISH AND BLACK BEANS TORTILLAS)

Steps:

• To make the fish filling: heat the corn oil, add the onion and sauté until transparent. Add the fish, epazote and tomato and cook until the juice from the tomato has evaporated.
• To make the sauce: heat the oil, add the onion, sauté until just softening, then add the epazote, tomato puree and salt to taste. Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• To assemble each pan de cazon: Heat the tortillas on both sides in a bit of oil until soft but not crispy. Spread 3 of the tortillas with 2 tablespoons each of the refried beans. Top each with 2 tablespoons of the fish filling. Stack one on top of another, top with the 4th tortilla and some of the tomato sauce.
• Filling and sauce recipes make enough for 2 hearty, full-meal servings. To make smaller servings or to serve as a first course, cut down on the number and size of tortillas and fill proportionately.
