The Main Ingredient: Beans
Beans are a staple in Mexican cuisine and provide the bulk of the filling for this sandwich. Not only are they a great source of protein, but they also contain high levels of fiber, making them a filling and healthy choice. In this recipe, we use black beans, which are commonly used in Mexican dishes and have a slightly creamy texture. Make sure to rinse and drain the beans before using them to remove any excess salt or preservatives.
Spice it Up
To give this sandwich its signature Mexican flavor, we add some cumin and chili powder to the beans. These spices add a smoky and slightly spicy kick to the dish. Feel free to adjust the amount of spices to your liking, and if you want an extra kick, add some red pepper flakes as well.
Building the Sandwich
To assemble the sandwich, start by spreading a layer of refried beans on one slice of bread. Refried beans are a popular ingredient in Mexican cuisine and add a creamy texture to the sandwich. Next, top the beans with a generous amount of the seasoned black beans. Then, add some sliced avocado and tomato for some added freshness and flavor. Lastly, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top and place the other slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
