Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the onion and peppers
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1½ cups [3 cups].
- Remove the stems and seeds from the sweet mini peppers; cut the peppers lengthwise into ¼-inch-wide strips.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the onion and cook until starting to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sweet mini peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown and soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan if using for the tortillas. While the onion and peppers are cooking, prepare the lime and start the refried beans.
2
Prep the lime; cook the refried beans
- Cut the lime into wedges for garnish. [Cut 1 lime into wedges; save the remaining lime for another use.]
- Rinse the pinto beans.
In another large frying pan over medium heat, combine the beans and ¼ cup [½ cup] water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, gently mashing the beans into a coarse paste, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatillo simmer sauce and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the Mexican cheese blend and remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. While the beans are cooking, start preparing the tortillas.
3
Warm the tortillas
On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in the same pan used for the onion and peppers over medium heat, warm the tortillas, turning once, until just pliable and warmed through, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel, cover, and keep warm.
