Stuffed Chiles with Refried Beans
Chiles Rellenos de Frijoles RefritosA beautiful garden restaurant, Nuu Luu, overlooking Oaxaca City, serves traditional Oaxacan food. I especially liked the chiles rellenos stuffed with black beans. Any kind of refried beans can be used, but black beans would be used in Oaxaca.
