Pinche Tacos: Beat TB Tacos (A Poem) By Martina Gallegos
Pinche Tacos: Beat TB Tacos
(A Poem)
Ingredients:
1. Black beans: my choice, but any kind will do, and I cook about half liter.
2. Organic No-Salt Seasoning
3. A pinch of salt: how redundant...
4. Garlic salt: a pinch
5. Oregano: a pinch
6. Parsley: a pinch
7. Sweet basil leaf: a pinch
8. Canned jalapeño juice: to taste
9. Cheese: as desired
10. Wheat or corn tortillas
Procedure:
1. Use, mash, and 'fry' leftover beans with about an ounce of Olive Oil.
2. The more you let the beans cook dry, the better they taste.
3. Add a pinch of each of the ingredients, and be more generous with the organic no-salt seasoning.
4. Add Jalapeño 'juice' to taste.
Making the 'Tacos':
1. Using corn or wheat tortilla, add the desired amount of black beans, and place them along one half of the tortilla.
2. Add the desired amount of favorite cheese.
3. Fold tortilla and place on comal; turn over to heat both sides evenly.
4. Add whatever other ingredients you wish for; like, avocado or jalapeños.
5. Enjoy and share your pinche tacos. Copyright © 2017 Martina Gallegos. All Rights Reserved.
