Had a great dinner at Lindy and Greg’s last night, excellent food, music and conversation! They made fish and shrimp tacos for us. They also made a killer ‘pepper infused tequila’ margarita that was the best margaritas we have had in Mexico!

It’s time to make Frijoles Refritos!
Posted in Food, Libation, Recipes on March 23, 2009 by Cire Gadje EllOK. It’s time to take that pot of frijoles we made in an earlier post and turn them into refried beans. If you missed the bean prep refer to this link – How to Make Frijoles.
I find that a good drink to go along with refried bean preparation is rum & cokes.
Heat a frying pan up good and hot. Once it is hot you can add a couple tablespoons of corn oil (healthier version) or for authentic refritos use lard (manteca
)
. Start adding the frijoles to the frying pan using the liquid that’s with the beans as this is important to keep the beans from drying out to fast. Watch it as this splatters hot oil.
Fry the beans for 5 minutes or so until the liquid starts to evaporate.
Now you need to mash the beans with a potato masher.
Keep them on the heat as you mash them and soon you will have the consistency you desire.
Frijoles Refritos! These are great for making your own bean and cheese burritos or you could have them as a side dish like we did last night with chicken enchiladas.
