Hooray for pinto beans!
You know I often make us up a pot of pinto beans something along the following lines: whole (not mashed) pinto beans, salt pork (bacon, ham, etc), onion, garlic, beer, chili, cumin, coriander/cilantro, lime & whatever else strikes my fancy to put in them. I like to used the dried beans if I can source them, but if not, tins of pinto beans work fine too! I do not mash them, however, I'd prefer to eat the beans soft but whole. I don't call them refried beans - cos they're not mashed & they're not fried or refried.
I wouldn't put refried beans in it cos that would defeat the purpose of making something with whole pinto beans it it.
It's yummy - I guarantee!
