Fun and educational video!! But he never showed us how to finish the beans? Or was it just spoon them into the onions with a bit of broth and leave the rest of the broth behind?

Yeah, I think the intent was just to serve them up with the rice and a little queso fresco. But, you could use them (and the bean broth) however you want!

I made my gringo white sauce surimi enchiladas on Jan 3rd! Similar to this recipe: Help! I need to make a seafood enchilada on Saturday! - #18 by Phoenikia
Jarred Chile Verde on the side.
@bbqboy has recommended this recipe.
I also enjoyed a cochinita and a brisket taco out yesterday.

We had chicken tinga tacos yesterday to use up the last of some poached chicken. My sauce had a can of fire roasted tomatos, guajillo, pasilla, and arbol chiles, white onion, garlic, Mexican oregano, and cumin. BF likes a particular tinga at a local restaurant that does not include (at least discernibly) chipotle, so I left that out. I think it came out pretty good, but is still a work in progress.

Love chicken tinga – yours looks so good! I’m pondering the absence of chipotle flavor…

I like it better with the chipotle, but BF wants what BF wants! Without the chipotle, it is a fairly standard tomato sauce with some fruity heat. I did like using the chicken breast here because, when pulled, it absorbed the sauce flavors really well. Chicken breast is really just a vehicle for whatever it is being served in, since it is so mild in flavor itself.

Here is my fav tinga (which is based on chipotle) but you can roast other peppers with the tomatoes and tomatillos before adding it all in the blender.
If you’re using precooked chicken just add it to the sauce at the end and cook long enough to heat well.

Yup, your dinner reminded me it had been awhile since I had made ground beef tacos.

No photo, sorry, but tonight we had chicken enchiladas verde. The recipe is from Laurel Randolph’s cookbook with some modifications. Briefly: cook about 1lb b/s chicken breasts in the instant pot with broth, an onion, garlic, s&p, then shred (I threw them in the KA mixer). Add 1/2 C green enchilada sauce, 1/2 C sour cream, and 2 C shredded Mexican cheese. Mix well, then fill corn tortillas and arrange in a 9x13 baking dish. Pour more sauce over the top and bake at 375 for 25-30 min. Top with cheese, sour cream, and pico de gallo if you feel so inclined. These are super easy and fast, maybe 1 hour tops but it’s mostly hands off.

Chilaquiles Rojo With Scrambled Eggs And Moro Beans
The rojo sauce was a 15 oz. can of tomatoes blitzed with a large shallot, 2 canned chipotles and some of their sauce, 2 garlic cloves, and a fistful of cilantro. I heated olive oil in a pan, added cumin seeds. When it was sizzling, I added the sauce and fried it in the olive oil for about 5 minutes. Then I added 2 c. of cooked moro beans (like a cross between pinto and black beans, carried by Rancho Gordo) and a heaped teaspoon of Mexican oregano. Checked for salt and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once ready to go, about a quarter of a bag of somewhat crushed tortilla chips that needed to be used about got stirred it. Then I plated it up. It was topped with scrambled eggs, cheese, cilantro, scallions, and sour cream. Hot sauce at the table. We loved it!
