  • Put the other 2 tbsp of oil in another pan at medium fire to fry the tortillas. Place two tortillas in the pan

  • Let them fry for about one minute or two, and then flip them, leaving them for another minute or two. I usually fry two tortillas at once, it all depends on how many you can fit without much overlapping!
    Frying tortillas
  • Submerge in tomato sauce and flip them!
    Flip tortilla
  • Fill them with refried beans (or whatever you fancy, really!)
    Filling entomatadas
  • Decorate with more tomato sauce, sour cream, coriander and avocado (I love them with cashew cream, look for the recipe in the recommendations below)
  • Enjoy!

Fry, fill and add the sauce

  • Instead of submerging the tortillas, you can also fry them, add the beans and then put them in a pan to add the sauce. I prefer to first dip them and then add the filling, but I thought I mentioned this as my mom swears it is the way to go with entomatadas hehe
  • Fry the tortillas and fill them, then arrange them in a pan, and add the sauce directly

  • Leave them for a minute or two there and then transfer to a plate
  • Decorate as above (coriander, avocado, cashew sour cream) and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a vegan sour cream, I really like them with a very thick cashew creamer. But you can also try the sunflower seed sour cream or for a light version, the tofu sour cream
  • If you want to make your own tomato sauce, try making the easy pasta sauce, but make sure tomatoes are ripe! (strong red) and that you remove the seeds and skin! you'll also need to boil them for more time to make the sauce thicker! also use only tomatoes, no herbs or spices apart from a pinch of salt
