Black
Bean Chilaquiles
1 1/4 cups dried black beans, soaked overnight
6 cups chicken broth
1/2 white onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 canned chipotle chiles, seeds removed
1 tsp salt
8 oz. tortilla chips
sour cream,diced avocado, cilantro and cotija cheese for garnish
Drain the beans
and combine in a large pot with the chicken broth, onion,
garlic, chiles and salt. Simmer partially covered until the
beans are very tender, about 2 hours. Add water if necessary
to keep the beans completely submerged. Let the beans cool.
In batches, purée the beans in a blender, adding more water
as needed to create a thin soup like consistency. Taste and
season the purée with salt. You may complete this step several
days in advance and store in the refrigerator. Bring the black
bean purée to a boil in a large pot. Add the tortilla chips
and stir frequently until the chips have softened, but are
still a little chewy. Spoon into a serving dish, garnish and
serve immediately.
