Mahalo Chico,

Refried pinto beans, a dish you can pair with salsa fresca, quesadillas, and some Mexican rice.

Put it all together and you could make a burrito. When we have Mexican meals for lunch or dinner my other half loves to put everything together and make a burrito out of it.

Serves: 2 people

Prep Time: Up to five minutes

Cook Time: Up to 8 minutes

What you will need and do:

1. 1 can of rinsed pinto beans

2. 1 bay leaf

3. 1 small onion: cubed

4. A dash of garlic salt

5. Grape seed or your cooking oil

6. Heat a small pot with the cooking oil and cubed onions. Allow the onions to be clear.

7. Add the beans and garlic salt. Cook for about 3 minutes or until a bit tender, take a fork or potato masher and mash the beans. Add a bit of water so that it is not dry and holds a creamy texture. Turn off heat and place the bay leaf on-top, cover and leave for 3 minutes.

8. Plate and serve with some salsa fresca.

Enjoy.

Ciao,

Odeliza Jacoba
