spiced up rice and refried beans

[feather]

I made a big pot of brown rice and put back a pint for DS plain.

DS likes spicy, me too....DH not so much but he's not here today.

Spiced up Rice

6 cups of brown rice cooked

A little oil

Chopped onion

chopped up carrots

saute until cooked

Add

minced garlic

couple handfuls of frozen peas

6 tomatoes chopped

chopped red pepper

tsp of cumin, black pepper, chili powder, oregano, and some salt

Get that hot and add the rice.

Refried beans to follow.

Refried beans

6 cups of cooked pinto beans

Cook an onion finely chopped in lard/oil.
Add two minced garlic cloves
tsp of ancho chili pepper, oregano, black pepper, cumin, and salt to taste.

Add in the pinto beans w/liquid
1 cups of broth or water.

Heat, then when they are all hot and some of the liquid is boiled off, mash them a little leaving some beans whole.

This all came together nicely and I have taco meat and tortillas from the freezer, red salsa from last year, green salsa from yesterday. I think I may have made a mexican buffet.

Sounds good, I think I may have to make some tomorrow.
