Ingredients:

  • 4 corn taco tortillas (flat, hard tortillas made from coarsely ground cornmeal)
  • 450 gr. black beans, without liquid
  • Half a grilled chicken, separate the meat into fibers, cut into large pieces
  • 2 cups finely chopped red cabbage
  • 1 bunch radishes (approx. 6 pcs), cut into strips
  • Half a bunch of cilantro, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup canola oil, plus more for frying
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tsp ground cumin (zira)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon ancho chili paste or chipotle pepper paste in adobo sauce
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tsp. brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Preparation:

  1. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add canola oil to a depth of 1/2 inch. Fry the corn tortillas in the hot oil until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side.

    Place the tortillas on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
  2. Pour the oil out of the pan, reserving 2 tablespoons. Add the beans and cumin and fry, stirring, for 1 minute.

    Add the broth and simmer, breaking up the beans with a spatula, until the liquid boils. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk 1/4 cup canola oil in a large bowl, then stir in garlic, chili paste, sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add cabbage, radishes, and cilantro and toss to combine.

    Mix sour cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice in another bowl, season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place beans, meat and salad on each flatbread and top with sour cream.
