Anyway, we went for an early dinner, late lunch instead. I had found a recipe online what seemed like a while ago, and have taken to calling "Mexican Breakfast", but basically I borrowed and then translated this recipe from the 99 cent chef into my own creation. Just so you all know I am not so ignorant that I think all mexicans eat this for breakfast or anything like that. Here's a picture:
Anyway, I've made this before, and hadn't realized until now what affordable and reasonably healthy meal it is. We liked it a lot, and it is easy enough to vary so we don't get bored, not to mention pretty hard to screw up cooking arena (though I don't mind a challenge).
The brand of re-fried beans we used for this is "Rosaritas", I don't normally think about what brand of beans I buy, but these tasted noticeably better than others I have had. Does anyone else notice significant taste differences between various "cheap" foods? Like a better brand of "chick peas" and so forth. Let me know!
I absolutely notice the difference in brands. I also use only Rosarita brand beans as I think they taste the best. I've tried my local supermarket brand, and they are just not the same. I can't quite put my finger on what it is though!
