Tortillas With Eggs And Spicy Bean Chili Recipes

SPICY THREE-BEAN PANTRY CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the tomato paste and cook, smearing and stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula or flat-edged wooden spoon, until dark and aromatic, about 90 seconds. Add the chipotle, chili powder and oregano, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the salsa and 1 1/4 cup water. Stir in the beans and hominy. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan with a lid. Stir in the rice, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
• Remove the chili from the heat, stir in the cider vinegar and let stand 1 minute. Fluff the rice with a fork, divide it among 6 serving bowls and top with the chili. Serve with pickled jalapenos and tortilla chips, if desired.

TORTILLAS WITH EGGS AND SPICY BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• In a blender, puree tomatoes, stock, onion, cumin, garlic and chile until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. In an 8" nonstick pan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Pour tomato mixture into pan; season with salt and cook until sauce reduces by half, 3 minutes. Add beans and cook, 2 minutes. Break eggs into the tomato mixture so they don't touch sides; reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until egg whites are set and yolks are runny, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve on tortillas and top with cheese, avocado and cilantro, plus lime for garnish.
