Frijoles Charros

[Ernesto]

It's cold and windy and I'm gonna make me some cowboy beans, south of the border cowboy beans that is. If you like spicy stuff you'll love these. Warn the family about explosive flatulence though.

Put everything in a pot and gently simmer for 3 hours. Serves 6 to 8. I like to brown the chorizo and pork shoulder first but you don't have to.

1 cup dried pinto beans
1 garlic clove
1 cup chopped tomato
1 cup diced pork shoulder
1/2 cup chorizo
1 cup diced poblano, can substitute hot green chile
1 teaspoon Mehican oregano, can substitute regular oregano, no not that other green stuff but....never mind
1 cup chopped onion 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
8 cups of water

Pure natural gas. lol

Hey, you big game hunters out there might want to try and throw some venison in. But really the chorizo is key for the flavor. All you gringos up north probably can't hanlde it.

I'm whipping up some seafood tacos to but the reciepe is to long to type out.

I'd like to see your taco recipe. If it's on paper, copy it and zip it on over to us. I've had some great fish tacos in the Baha area. Maybe you got the one. Totuauva was the fish. Mmmm!

 

[Ernesto]

I'll try and see if I can scan it for ya Darol.

 

[Darol Wester]

That would be great! Thanks!

I order those instead of refried when I go out.

We live in Texas, it's a staple of our diet. I eat them at least a couple of times a week.

With Mexican food places everywhere and as Keith said good Mexican food in stores, it's accessible and delicious.

we feel the same down here in Southern California. I need my Mex food fix at least once a week or I am sad.

I do too. I had to put it on hold this week, probably hit a place tonight.

Ha ha! Funny. That bean recipe is like it's own meal. Ya really don't need anything else to go with it cept maybe a fresh warm tortilla with butter on it. And I mean those kinda tortilla's you can see through.

 

[havasu]

I too need to have butter with my tortillas. Most Mexican restaurants seem insulted with this request.
