Method
- 1
Rinse the rice, then cook it in the water with the salt: boil, cover and cook on the lowest heat for 12 minutes, rest 5 minutes and fluff.
17 min - 2
Fry the peppers in the oil over a medium high heat for 8 minutes until soft and a little charred.
8 min - 3
Warm your ready made easy red mole (see the base recipe) with 100 ml water in a pan, stir in the beans and simmer for 8 minutes until thick.
8 min - 4
Stir the lime juice and coriander through the rice. Warm your ready made flour tortillas (see the base recipe) in a dry pan for 15 seconds a side.
- 5
Fill each tortilla with rice, mole beans and peppers, fold in the ends and roll up tightly. Fry seam down in a dry pan for 1 minute to seal, then serve.
Tips
- Warm tortillas until they are soft and bendy. Cold ones split as you roll.
- Let the mole beans cool a little before filling so the steam does not soften the tortilla.
- Do not overfill. Two to three tablespoons of each is plenty for a small tortilla.
Storing and freezing
Keeps 3 days in the fridge, wrapped. Reheat in a hot oven or pan until steaming hot all through. Freeze wrapped for up to 2 months.
Questions
Can I make these gluten free?
Use gluten free tortillas or serve the filling as a rice bowl. The mole itself is gluten free.
Can I add cheese?
Yes, grated cheddar or Monterey Jack melts nicely with the beans. That makes it vegetarian rather than vegan.
Can I use pinto beans?
Yes, pinto beans are also traditional and a bit creamier. Drain and rinse them well first.
