Okay, I stole the title for these from Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, but that is beside the point. They were tasty enough and took less time to make than even spaghetti. About 15 minutes from lighting the oven to stuffing my face.
What I used:
2 really really small pieces of sliced pork loin
1 can of black beans
2 cups of corn
salsa
grated cheddar cheese
What I did:
I drained and rinsed the beans and poured ’em in a pot and then seasoned them with cumin and chili powder and cayenne pepper and a little bit of cilantro, stirred em up real well and cooked and mashed the devil out of ’em. Meanwhile I had the corn cooking as well. I seared my superthin pork loin and then chopped it, tossed it back in, seasoned it with more chili powder and cumin and a tiny bit of cinnamon and kept it cooking. I had about two minutes to kill so I grated some cheese. Then I mashed the devil out of the beans some more. I don’t know how to make refried beans, but this looked like it at least. Everything was done at this point so I spread it on some tortillas, poured a little salsa on ’em and dug in. This meal rates quite high on the bachelor scale of home cooking. It will probably make about four normal sized burritos but I only got 2.5 out of mine.
sounds like refried beans to me! 🙂
Yea, that’s how I’d make them. Cook up some beans, smash’em up, flip them a few times with a spatula, mixing in the fried-up bits (adding either water or oil as needed). I think the only difference is that I add epazote (available dried at urban herbs in the WSM)..a pinch of that really enchances the flavor of black beans.
Sounds excellent!
