When I was a kid growing up; the smell of bacon frying could mean more than simply just "It's time for breakfast!". It could also have meant that it was time for lunch or dinner for that matter. Everyone in my family ate refried beans! To say they were a staple is an understatement. This remains true to this very day. Here's my classic recipe for rich and flavorful refried beans...
Fry up that bacon...
Set the bacon aside. It will definitely come in handy for other things... :)
Reserve the bacon fat, and keep it smoking hot!
Listen to that sizzle! Toss in your pre-cooked pinto beans. (Here's the link to my pinto bean recipe)
Let them fry for a minute or so, then give them a good smash...
Simmer and top with cheese just before serving...
Frijoles Refritos!
This is a pretty basic recipe technique. I used the following quantities of ingredients. You can tweak it a bit to your liking. Enjoy! :)
6 Bacon Strips (fried crisp:reserve the fat)
4 cups cooked pinto beans
Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish with freshly-grated cheese (I tend to use whatever is handy: cheddar, Monterey Jack, a bit of feta...)
