How do you make tasty pinto beans (like you get at Mex restaraunts)? Someone told me you just add lard and salt, but mine still didn't taste good *sigh*. I love beans.

Why bother cooking? these same beans are in jars and cans at your grocery store. I would not buy the beans, made in mexico, the water may not have been sterile. you know what that means.

When I cook pinto beans, I saute chopped onions and bell pepper (and sometimes even chopped celery leaves)in bacon grease and add about half way through cooking. Salt, black pepper and a dash of red pepper finishes them off. If you want mexican beans..add chili powder, garlic and cumin. For refried, just mash them and heat them in a skillet with a tablespoon or two of bacon dripings.

You have to cook them to death first, then mash a bit, let them cool then cook again.. lard or grease helps along with spices depending on how you like them. ;)
