Ingredients
8 servings
- •8 ounces dried pinto beans
- •2 tablespoons olive oil
- •1 ½ teaspoons salt
- •16 slices white whole wheat bread
- •1 cup shredded queso blanco
- •⅓ cup chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
Instructions
- Place beans in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Let stand for 1 hour.
- Drain and rinse beans. Add enough fresh water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and rinse.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beans and salt. Fry until beans are very soft, stirring and mashing frequently, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler on low heat.
- Spread an equal amount of beans on each slice of bread and sprinkle queso on top. Place bread slices on a baking sheet.
- Broil until beans are warmed and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven and top with chile-garlic sauce.
