Just got back from a rather interesting trip across Texas and southern
New Mexico. Got forced south by the winter storm & ended up in
Carlsbad, NM after wandering across much of Texas trying to stay ahead
of it.
Specifically tried to hit the holiest hole-in-the-wall places & had
pretty good luck. Came across a couple of neat ideas for cooking
refried beans in one.
Drum roll please for my every couple of years recipe posting :-)
Refried beans ala "Anna's Restaraunt, Matador TX"
Refried beans

Combine & serve
:-)
I was actually quite surprised to find that these went very well
together, not having ever tried it or seen in tried before. I can't
begin to tell you the amounts to use.
My wife & I (yes- she & I actually went on a vacation *together*) also
found another neat place in Van Horn Texas:
Lizzy's Tortelleria. About as authentic and non-chain as you can get.
Everything cooked right there & VERY good. Had chile rellenos,
burritos, tacos, & all kinds of other stuff.
Lizzy's was particularly good because we had just finished a 10 mile
hike that covered 3,000' in elevation change in 45 F weather with 50 mph
winds :-) It probably would have been just as good otherwise.
