  Cool Beans! It is what we say down here on the border in hoping the refried beans do not burn the inside of your mouth.

Do you have a link of how people cook refried beans at home ?

From scratch: Buy or make home made flour tortillas. Home made are more tasty. Home made recipe is:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/homemade-flour-tortillas/

You can refrigerate them for up to a week or more. They dry out into a frisbee state if left too long in the fridge. To reheat. Throw some butter or oil in a skillet and wait till the bubble forms on the torilla before flipping over. You do not need a lot of oil or butter by the way. Just a small drizzle.

Bean and Cheddar cheese with Pico De Gallo is my favorite.

It will keep pretty well in the fridge. After you get a taste for it. You will wonder how you lived without it. It is like a Mexican pesto sorta.

Refried Beans and Cheese.

Above recipe is from a red headed country cow girl. It should work OK.

All recipes I gave can be used to make other stuff. Like the tortillas. Chrorizo and Scrambled egg burritos. Sausage and Egg Burritos.
Refried beans can be a side dish for like pork chops or fish. The pico de gallo is the sauce/added flavor.

@rokytnji,

Thanks for posting those recipes.  Going to give them a try myself.  Love Mexican food and always on the lookout for good recipes.  Have tried making tortillas before, but your recipe looks like a better one to try.

I have recently begun learning how to cook.
In the future I want to make/code a free cooking program (or if too ambitious maybe pdf unsure yet).

@bitsnpcs,

In case you're not aware, there is a nice recipe program called Gourmet Recipe Manager that I use.  You can find it in Synaptic under "gourmet", or just install from terminal with:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install gourmet
Here's their website for more info:  https://thinkle.github.io/gourmet/

Fire Brand no bother me. It is hard to offend this crusty old biker. So post away.

I don't know if you guys do tostadas and guacamole. Tostadas are just deep fried cut corn tortillas.
Here is a 2 minute recipe for munchies.
Buy a Bag of Corn Tostadas, or make home made from corn tortillas.

Buy some Velveeta Cheese in the block/brick. Micro wave 1/2 the cheese. Throw in some pico de gallo for heat and flavor.
Munchies in minutes.

My other quick snack. Buy some Avocados. I like the rough skin version vs the smooth skin version. Slice em up and pour in a bowl.
Add some pico de gallo. Break out your potato masher and mash up the avocados or run the mix through a blender.
Dip the chips. Nice and cool with a little heat/bite. Goes good with beer. Either recipe.

  Guacamole is Hispanic for Avacado paste. You spice it up with the tomatoes, onions, jalapenos,tomatilos, and cilatro. Which is a pico de gallo base. Here is a picture of what I mean with both recipes.


You can use the refried beans as a dip also.



Nachos and cheese with pico de gallo and some chicken breast melted in the bowl also.
Velvetta works best in my opinion. I guess you could try and add milk or cream to hard cheese to get a
soupy texture to the sauce. I don't know though. I never tried that.
