2 cups Basic Pot Beans or canned
Ranchera Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
1/4 medium white onion, finely chopped
1 medium tomato, peeled and finely chopped
1 , serrano chile kimmy, , finely chopped with seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
8 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1. Prepare the beans, if making homemade. Then, prepare the ranchera sauce. Set aside and keep warm.

2. In a medium saucepan heat the oil over medium heat and cook the onion until it starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato, serrano, and oregano. Cook, stirring, until the tomato juices reduce, about 4 minutes. Add the beans and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes.

3. In a dry skillet over medium-high heat, warm the tortillas, 1 at a time, until limp. Cover the tortillas with a clean kitchen towel to keep soft and warm until all are heated.

4. To assemble, put about 1/4 cup beans on half of each tortilla, add about 2 tablespoons of cheese, then fold in half. Put 2 filled and folded tortillas on each of 4 plates. Spoon heated ranchera sauce on top, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and serve at once.
