Additional details
- To cook the beans, rinse them under cold running water, removing any stones you may find, and put them in a large saucepan with 1 litre of cold water. Soak the beans in the water for 2-4 hours until the middle of a bean is soft (not chalky)
- Add to a pressure cooker the beans previously soaked, 1 onion, salt and epazote and let them cook in 1 litre of water for 35 min (If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can use a saucepan and let simmer for 2 hours)
- On a different saucepan put the Pasilla de Oaxaca Chillies to soak on low heat until soft.
- Once the beans and the chillies are ready, place the ingredients in a blender with the same water the beans were cooked in (the amount will depend on the preferred consistency) and blend. Incorporate salt into the mix at the moment of blending.
- In a saucepan, cook the garlic and chopped onion until yellow. Then incorporate the refried beans and cook on low heat.
- When the dip is ready, place on a plate and garnish with feta cheese. Serve it with Totopos and enjoy!
