Refried Beans recipe - Pinto Beans

[procon]

11. There's a gigantic mexican supermarket nearby with a wonderful cheese counter.

There must by a run of 50 feet with dozens of Mexican cheeses, creams, spreads and different types of sour cream. You can sample them and order by as much as you like by weight. Its a terrible place! LOL I could spend an hour just reading the name cards. One of my favorite summer meals is what the mister calls, Tostadas del Gordo, bean tostadas piled high with homemade pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, grated cheese and a big plop of tangy Crema Salvadorena on top. They are messy, but so delicious!

I have tell the story about my one and only attempt at growing cilantro. After potting the little starter plants I bought, I set them in front of the kitchen window. Later, I came back to find that my two sweet kitties had chewed them down to the stump. <sigh> Storebought cilantro it is then.
