Frijoles Adobados

A quick dinner, perfect for Lenten meals and just plain delicious frijoles adobados.  Frijoles de olla refried with chipotle chiles in adobo sauce add a spicy kick to your tostadas.      

Chipotle chiles in adobo ~ Smoked jalapenos are pickled in tomato puree, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, paprika, salt, onions and oregano. 

If heat is an issue, use only the sauce for a tamer kick.  Love heat?  Add more chipotles.  Freeze leftover chiles in a plastic bag. When a recipe calls for chipotles slice off as needed. Puree chipotles with mayo for a colorful sandwich spread or add to your potato salad for a Mexican twist.  Enjoy!

    I love your blog. I love the mexican cuisine, but its been basterdized here in Sydney. I cannot get a decent burrito here. I had the most amazing mexican meal in Manhattan though. these frijoles look scrumptious.

    Do you know of any Mexican cookbooks that you can recommend?

    So simple and so delicious~ We have a few great bean dishes in our cuisine too but it is nice to change sometimes and this is a good one to do it with~ love the tostada and the crispiness against the creaminess of the beans

    That sounds pretty irresistible to me. Bet this would be great in a quesadilla, too.
