Garnachas are the Belizean equivalent to tostados or sopes. They’re a common appetizer or party food and can be made with a variety of toppings. The recipe that I found, was simply black beans, marinated onions and asiago cheese served on a crisp fried tortilla. The onion mixture was a nice alternative to salsa. It was made of diced onions and a finely diced Serrano pepper, then marinated in white wine vinegar. The recipe called for a habanero pepper, but they’re often not available, so the Serrano turned out to be perfect. I used peanut oil to fry the tortillas which gives them a much better flavor than vegetable oil. Top the tortilla with black beans, the onions and lots of cheese. Actually, any cheese would be good, but the asiago called for in the recipe was wonderful. This was probably one of the easiest recipes I’ve made and I’ll definitely be making it again, especially when I’m looking for a 10 minute dinner.
