Ingredients
- Oil, for frying
- 8 ounces frozen potato tots
- 1 teaspoon Housemade Seasoning, recipe follows
- 4 ounces Housemade Queso, recipe follows
- 2 ounces Housemade Black Beans, recipe follows
- 1 ounce Pickled Red Onions, recipe follows
- 1 ounce sliced jalapeño
- 1 ounce sour cream
- 2 tablespoons New Mexican chile powder
- 2 tablespoons iodized salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 cups heavy cream
- 24 slices American cheese
- 4 cups grated Cheddar
- 1 cup diced Hatch green chiles
- 1 cup diced Hatch red chiles
- 1 cup jalapeño hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups dried black beans
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 8 tomatillos, roasted and diced
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 4 red onions
- 1 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/8 cup sugar
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Fry the tots until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes. Place in a bowl and toss with the Seasoning. Top with the Queso, Black Beans, Pickled Red Onions, jalapeño and sour cream.
- Mix together the chile powder, salt and sugar in a bowl.
- Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a large pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the cheese. Whisk together until smooth. Add the chiles, hot sauce and salt and whisk until completely melted.
- Soak the black beans in 4 cups water overnight.
- Simmer the black beans on low heat until tender, about 90 minutes. Add the vinegar, cumin, tomatillos, cilantro and onion and cook down for an additional 30 minutes.
- Julienne the onions. They shouldn’t be too thin, as they need a little texture to hold up. Blanch them in boiling water for one minute, then remove them from the heat and transfer to an ice bath. Remove the onions from the ice bath and set aside in a bowl.
- Combine the vinegar, salt, sugar and 1 cup water in a pot and bring to a boil. Pour over the sliced red onions. Let sit at least 1 hour. (They will turn a brighter color the longer they sit.) Refrigerate if not using right away.
Reviews
What happened to the Dr. Pepper in the black beans?
This recipe might have been part of the documents hiding in Mar a Lago. Well the secret is out meow! I’ve eaten these in person and can’t wait to make them at home. Queso alone is killer.
