Per Order
- Coat the bottom of a sauté pan with Fire Roasted Salsa and Salsa Fresca and heat.
- For each serving top each of 2 crispy corn tortillas with the hot salsa and place on a warm serving plate, with the tortillas slightly overlapping.
- Top with hot Twice Cooked Cranberry Beans.
- Toss together romaine, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt. Place evenly over the beans.

California Guacamole
- In a bowl, coarsely mash the California Avocado and stir with half of the lemon juice.
- Add the jalapeño, tomato, garlic, red onion and cilantro, stir to combine.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Season with remaining lemon juice as desired.
Fire Roasted Salsa
- Coat the tomatoes, jalapeño and red onion with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on a wood fired grill and grill until charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill (tomatoes will cook first, followed by the jalapeño and red onion).
- Chop the onion and tomato and place in blender. Cut the jalapeño in half; remove the seeds and white membrane and add the jalapeño flesh to the blender. Pureé.
- Season with lime juice and salt.
Salsa Fresca
- Combine the tomato, red onion and jalapeño in a mixing bowl. Add the cilantro.
- Season with salt and lime juice. Chill.
Braised Cranberry Beans
- Place the beans in a pot and add cold water, enough to cover the beans by 1 inch.
- Over medium heat, bring to a boil.
- At the same time, in a sauté pan, coat the pan with olive oil reserving the rest of the olive oil for seasoning the cooked beans. Add the chopped carrot, celery and onion.
- Then add the garlic and sauté until all are browned. Add to the pot of beans.
- Reduce the heat on the beans to a low simmer and cook for about 1 hour until the beans are cooked through. Add water as necessary.
- Once the beans are cooked through, remove from the heat and season with salt, reserved olive oil and juice of the lemons. Crack the basil sprigs with the back of a chef knife and add to the beans. Allow beans to cool to room temperature and chill.
- Remove carrot, celery, onion, garlic and basil before preparing the Twice Cooked Cranberry Beans.
Twice Cooked Cranberry Beans
- In a sauce pot, heat the olive oil then add the onion and salt, cook until soft and translucent.
- Add the cranberry beans and their liquid. Bring to a simmer and season with coriander and cumin. Transfer all to a food processor and pulse until the beans are partially puréed.
