Frijoles Charros
Frijoles Charros in Winnipeg: hearty Mexican cowboy beans simmered in house at La Taqueria on Ness Ave.
Totopos and Beans is how a Mexican meal begins: crisp tortilla chips fried from real corn tortillas, served with warm, well-seasoned beans and our house-made salsa. It is the shared starter our tables reach for first, and one of the simplest ways to taste how fresh everything at La Taqueria is made.
Totopos are not the same as a bag of chips. They are cut from corn tortillas and fried until they blister and crackle, which is why they hold up to a scoop of thick beans without breaking. The beans are cooked and seasoned in our kitchen until they are creamy and savoury, the kind that stands on its own rather than sitting quietly on the side of a plate.
Add our fresh salsa — made daily, never from a jar — and this becomes the plate everyone keeps picking at while the tacos are being pressed. It is a natural starter for a group, an easy add-on for a takeout order, and a favourite with families ordering for the table across Winnipeg.
Everything is made in house on Ness Ave: the tortillas the totopos are cut from, the beans and the salsa. Guests regularly tell us the chips and salsa alone are worth the trip, and that is because nothing here has been sitting in a warehouse — it was made in our kitchen the same day you eat it.
