Hoja Santa Bean Tacos Recipe Ingredients: * refried beans (black or pinto) * hoja santa * corn tortillas (homemade or store-bought) Creamy Pepita Salsa Verde: * 1 tbsp neutral oil, such as avocado oil * 12 tomatillos, husk removed * 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds * 2 garlic cloves, skin removed * 1/2 white onion, cut into two piece * 2 jalapeños * Handful cilantro * Generous Pinch of salt For the salsa 1. To a medium - large cast iron or pan over medium heat add 1 tbsp oil. Add in all salsa ingredients except cilantro and salt. Cook for 7-10minutes or until ingredients are charred. You likely will have to remove the garlic after 3 minutes. 2. Add all charred ingredients to a blender followed by the cilantro and salt. For the tacos 1. If making homemade tortillas and you would like to press hoja santa into the masa. simply lightly press down on masa once then add one - a full hoja santa into the masa for the 2nd press . *I recommend removing the stem with kitchen scissors. Lightly cook all your homemade tortillas before filling them with beans. Skip step 2 and continue recipe with step 3. 2. For store-bought tortillas, lightly heat tortillas either on a pan/ comal or in the microwave for a few seconds so they're pliable. Add beans to one side then add a piece of hoja santa on top then close. 3. Fill all your tortillas with the beans (and a piece of hoja santa if using store-Bought tortillas). 4. To a large pan over medium heat add a touch of oil then pan fry tacos for 1 minute on each side or until golden. 5. Serve with salsa and enjoy.
