Time 30m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1 cup red kidney beans
1/3 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
3 corn tortillas
3 tablespoons shredded coconut-based parmesan cheese
3 teaspoons ketchup

Steps:

  • For the refried beans: Saute the onions in the oil in a small pan over medium heat until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the beans in the pan and season with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. As the beans are cooking, mix and smash them until a mashed consistency forms. They should be smooth and fully mashed.
  • For the corn tortillas: Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Fry the corn tortillas individually until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
  • For the garnachas: Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of the refried beans on the crispy corn tortillas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the shredded cheese over the beans. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the ketchup over each garnache.
