Instructions
Chorizo and Beans:
-
In a medium saucepan, add the chorizo and sauté until cooked.
-
Add olive oil and the two cups of pinto beans. Once boiling, mash the beans, cover, and set aside.
Guajillo Sauce:
-
In a pot, add the water.
-
Then in a small pan, add arbol chiles then pan fry until slightly brown.
-
Add chiles to a blender, along with garlic, onion, salt, tomato, and the two cups of water from the pot. Blend well.
Chicarron:
-
Grab another saucepan, then add in olive oil and onion. Sauté for about two minutes before adding the chicarron.
-
Cook for two minutes, then add the guajillo sauce and cover until bubbles start to form. Set aside.
Tortillas:
-
On a pancake griddle, heat the tortillas four at a time until they form slight hard lines.
-
Repeat the process until all 20 are warmed up.
-
Grab a wok-style fry pan and heat oil until bubbles form.
-
Then, dip each tortilla in for two seconds on each side.
-
Once done, get a round pan then cover it with plenty of parchment paper and aluminum foil.
-
Add a spoonful of filling to each tortilla and fold in half, organizing them into the pan.
-
Place the sliced onions inside and pour the leftover hot oil and cover immediately with more foil. Cover with a dishtowel on top and set aside.
Green Salsa:
-
in a saute pan, add the olive oil, cabbage, carrot, onion, vinegar, water, and oregano. Sauté until soft and set aside.
-
Next, fill a pot with the cup of water, then slice each tomatillo in the middle and slice the jalapeños completely in half, taking out the seeds and tops.
-
Let boil until the tomatillos look soft, then add them into a blender.
-
Add the white onion, salt, cilantro, and boiled water into the blender. Blend well.
Repello Garnish:
-
Quickly combine the cabbage, carrots, white onion, oregano, vinegar, and water in a bowl.
-
Plate the tacos, add repollo garnish, salsa, and enjoy!
