Black Bean Tortas with Coconut Chipotle Mayo

Make this narrow sandwich and let your comment below, because it is so fucking amazing and i made it twice to thrice per week.

Makes 4 Tortas



Coconut Chipotle Mayo


  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup of your favorite chipotle hot sauce 
  • 1/4 cup olive oil 
  • 1 tablespoon ground chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt


Creamy Black Beans


  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin 
  • 3 cups cooked black beans
  • 11/2 cups vegetable broth
  • juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste


Torta Trimmings


  • 4 crusty rolls, split and toasted
  • Lettuce
  • Sliced Tomatoes
  • Sliced red onion
  • Sliced avocado


1- First, make the mayo. Throw all those mayo ingredients in your blender or food processor and run them on high for about a minute so everything is good and mixed. Taste and see if you want more hot sauce. Pour this all in a cup or bowl and store it in the fridge until you need it. It will thicken in there, just be patient.

2- Next, make the beans. Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Throw in the onion and saute it until it starts to look golden brown, about 5 minutes.Add the garlic, chili powder, and cumin and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the beans and broth and stir it up. Let it come to a simmer and then turn down the heat real low. Using a potato masher or big big spoon, smash up all those beans as best you can. Add the lime juice and then taste. Add some salt or more spices if that is the kinda you are into. Now turn off the heat and make a torta.

3- Grab a toasted roll and smear with a bunch of the coconut chipotle mayo. Pile of the beans on the bottom half. In between, add whatever you want. Lettuce, Tomatoes, red onion, and some avocado are some time-tested choices, but be creative. Serve right away with some extra hot sauce.

  1. REally good, I didn't have red onions so I used fried onions. Had as a sandwich and to cut carbs, prepared another using a tortilla.
