Instructions

  1. Sauté the chopped onion and tomato in the oil for 5 minutes, then mash the black beans with their cooking liquid and add them to the pan.
  2. Heat the water with the salt and cumin, then pour it gradually over the masa, stirring to get a smooth dough.
  3. Add the masa dough to the beans and cook over medium heat, stirring for 15 minutes, until the mixture pulls away from the sides.
  4. Add the crumbled cheese and stir until it starts to melt.
  5. Lay banana leaves on a work surface, place portions of the mixture on them and wrap them into little parcels.
  6. Steam the parcels for 20 minutes, then let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Variations and tips

Sweet version. Replace the cheese with brown sugar and add a pinch of cinnamon.

With what's available here. Use parchment paper instead of banana leaves.
