Did anyone else used to love the Pintos N Cheese from Taco Bell?
No?
Just me?
Well, anyway, at home right now I have pinto beans simmering in the crock pot, making my own version of the Pintos from the Pintos N Cheese. I used the recipe for Refried Beans from my favorite crock pot recipe site, but they're not actually fried. Or even refried. You just cook them up with onion, garlic, coriander and cumin, then smoosh them up with a hand mixer and you have pureed beans to store in the fridge for future use. I pile on some cheese and microwave for snacks. This is the second time I've made them and they are tasty. You know, if you like beans and cheese. Which I do.

Linguistic lesson for the day: refried is actually a bad translation from Spanish. it really means "really cooked". of course, mexican women add lard to theirs so...they're just as bad if they were fried.
anyway, yum!!! i love homemade refried beans. so delish.
yum - that sounds like an awesome idea!
What a coincidence - we had mashed pinto beans on Tuesday. We ate ours in burritos with rice, cheese, and tomatoes. I hadn't made them for over a year, and forgot how good they are!
