Oh man... Mexican candy is the best!

@SamPS... I remember years back they said we shouldn't eat mexican candy because of the crazy amounts of lead. I'm 28 and have been eating it my whole life. I'm still alive and kickin. I'd like to think it's just made my immune system stronger. ha! Cheers :)

This is the way my great grandma, grandma and mother have always made them. The secret is to cook your own beans.

All you need is

Water
Pinto or Peruvian beans
1 small white onion cut in half
Salt to taste (once beans are almost done)

Refried beans taste better if you use lard. I use corn oil just cause it's not as unhealthy as lard. They are delicious just on there own. You can add as much broth as you like depending on the consistency you want. If I ever have fresh made salsa I will ass that to the beans and let it boil together before mashing them. Top it off with some queso fresco or queso cotija.

Way too much work.

Cut in half, use a knife to cut into squares while still inside the peel (without cutting through the peel), the scoop it out with a spoon. Takes two seconds.

Thanks for your post. The Bon Appetit "Food Lover's Cleanse" looks amazing! I will be trying a lot of the recipes.

Child protective services? Ha! Man I thought I was on Apartmenttherapy.com not Facebook. 4 comments on one post. ha.

This is a very cool set up. Safe or unsafe still very cool. I'm jealous.
