EASY COWBOY BEANS (FRIJOLES CHARROS)
This is a tasty, zesty side dish that can easily become a main meal. Serve soupy with warm flour tortillas or crusty bread, crumble corn bread on top, or scoop up with tortilla chips. Like mac and cheese, it's a great comfort food. It is easy to make because it doesn't require constant attention and is good for everything from a family meal to a football party. It can easily be doubled. Check flavor before serving and alter seasonings to taste if necessary. Top with more onion and cilantro as desired. If there are any leftovers, they hold up well and taste great the next day.

QUICK REFRIED BEANS (RICK BAYLESS)
This is how I usually make my refried beans now as they can be made vegetarian style also and are extremely easy to make. These are even better the second day. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.

Steps:
- In a large frying pan put the oil and garlic. Heat over medium heat until the edges of the garlic start to lightly brown.
- Add the can of pinto beans with their liquid. Stir and mash (using a potato masher) for 10-15 minutes until the mixture is fairly smooth.
- The beans might be a bit runny, but once they have cooled and been reheated, they will have thickened.
- One of my daughters likes to have whole beans in her refried beans, so I keep some of the whole pinto beans aside and add them the last minute or two.
- This recipe serves 3-4 as a side dish. If you want to make up this recipe for bean and cheese burritoes, you will have to double the recipe.
- I often like to add a little cumin powder and a dash of oregano to this recipe while the beans are cooking.
