Preparation

Medium

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius. Marinate the chiles in a deep container with water, white vinegar, vegetable oil, and coarse salt. Allow them to marinate for 45 minutes. Remove the chiles from the water, dry them, and make a small vertical slit in the chile to remove the seeds. In a pot, cook the beans with 6 cups of water, garlic, and salt to taste. Cook the beans until soft. Remove the beans from the pot and blend with 1 tablespoon of chicken broth powder and the epazote to obtain a bean paste. In a griddle, roast the tomato until its skin is blackened. Place the tomato in a bag to sweat for 5 minutes and then peel its skin. In a blender, make a sauce with the tomato and the achiote paste. In a skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil, fry the beans for 5 minutes. Add the achiote sauce and continue cooking for 5 more minutes. Stuff the chiles with the bean mixture and place them on a baking tray. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 15 minutes.
