Cream of Beans with chipotle

The divine triad of traditional Mexican gastronomy are chili, corn and beans. The consumption of these three traditional foods has been passed down from generation to generation and although new forms of preparation and consumption have been integrated, they continue to be the basis. Here we will share with you the delicious Chipotle Cream of Beans recipe that includes all three.

Let's start with the protagonist of this recipe, the bean. The Nahuas used to call it “ayocotl”, later with the conquest the Spanish called it frisol (from the Catalan fesol) and then branched out to bean, as we currently call it.

This legume originates from Mesoamerica and South America, is grown as an annual crop and has numerous varieties that are grown in different parts of the world. Some of its varieties produced in Mexico are: Peruvian, yellow, sulfur, canary, butter, pinto, flor de mayo, bayo, canelo, rebocero, ayocote and black among others.

Our second ingredient that adds a touch and flavor to the cream of beans is the chipotle pepper, another element of this triad. This fresh chili is the famous jalapeño and dry it is known as chipotle, its heat level is medium and it provides that rich smoky flavor.

The third ingredient that accompanies this recipe is the corn with the fried tortillas. These in the same way are an ancestral part of Mexican cuisine. And basically almost no traditional dish can be conceived without some chili, beans, or tortillas.
