Frijoles Chinitos

I spent part of the morning with my friend Adriana while she made frijoles chinitos. This was new to me and a most welcome change from the usual refried beans.

Rolly, I like the idea of preparing the beans with cheese. Ask Adriana if she ever fries a chile in the oil or lard before she puts the beans in to heat and mash.

Peruanos are the bean of choice here in central Mexico. I can't think that I've ever seen pintos for sale in the markets in Guadalajara or Morelia. Flor de junio, flor de mayo, vaquita, and several other varieties, yes, but not pintos.

Interesting. Pintos are the main bean here.

Sam's has large sacks of pintos. Other beans in smaller sacks. DIF gives out pintos.

She never uses lard or oil in her beans.

It is midnight.
I'm reading and looking at your pictures.
There's nothing in the fridge and I'm hungry.
I shouldn't be doing this.

Pintos here in Coahuila also. Can't imagine them without lard or a sprinkle of cheese on top.
