- In a large skillet or pan over medium heat, add about 1 tbsp oil. Once hot, add in the Korean BBQ Chik’n, cook for 5-7 minutes, moving the chik’n in the pan with your spatula every minute or so. Add a pinch of salt. Once cooked and slightly charred, remove chicken from pan, place in a bowl and DO NOT clean or wash pan. That flavor willgo into your beans!
- For the beans, finely dice onion and mince garlic. To the same pan you cooked the Chik’n in, add 2-3 tbsp of broth to deglaze the pan then add in onion. Cook on medium/low for 2 minutes, then add in garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add in 3 cups of cooked beans. Add in the remaining broth, let simmer for 5 minutes then mash beans. Taste and add salt to your liking.
- In a large bowl, combine the corn masa flour and salt. Mix then add in water in thirds, mixing with a wooden spoon in between. Then once all the water is in, get in there with your hands and form dough. Let dough rest and meanwhile bring a large pan or comal to heat up on stove.
- Grab about a golf ball sized amount of dough and roll it into a ball, if you have a tortilla press, use it! You want a 1/4 thick inch tortillas. You can also easily shape with your hands!
- Once pan is hot, add thick tortilla to the pan (without any oil). Cook on both sides for about 1-2 minutes. It should start to bubble up a bit! This is a good sign. Remove from heat and immediately cut it diagonally using a mitten or kitchen towel to hold it because it will be hot! Place in tortilla warmer or wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm so you can continue making more.
- To assemble, simply add in a spoonful of refried beans, vegan chik'n, vegan cheese, salsa and fresh green onions.
