Nothing complicated at all about this stuff . . .
The only real thing? Metal pan = metal tools / teflon type pan = plastic tools – depending on the type of coating you can do a lot of damage to the pan in a hurry with high heat and metal tools!!
And the star of this show . . .
Get your skillet hot ( depending on burner size ) 3 – minutes – add a tablespoon or so of lard – when it melts down – in with the diced jalapeno – give it a couple of minutes – then . . .
Add 1/2 of the diced onion . . .
Give it a minute or so – the skillet is hot!
Since I keep these in jars in the fridge – the beans tend to soak up the water in the jar – cooking them I add about 1/4 cup of water to the skillet . . .
When you start boiling – start mashing and moving them around . . . ( with the star of the show )
In just a minute or three the beans are pretty much mashed / cooked and starting to steam off water and thicken . . .
When you scrape across the bottom and the beans don’t run and back fill – you are just going from runny beans to sticky beans – which is pretty much where we like them for most stuff . . .
When the water stops cooking off you are pretty much full on sticky beans . . .
Besides just straight up eating them – let’s put them in a tortilla for lunch – remember I only used 1/2 that onion for the beans? Get the griddle hot – some avocado oil – the rest of the onion and a cup or so of pork carnitas – smelling good!
All you are doing is putting a little “crisp” on the carnitas – 3 to 5 to 7 minutes – just depends how much crispy you want . . .
Put a layer of beans then cheese on 1/2 the tortilla . . .
A layer of carnitas then a layer of cheese – then onto the griddle . . .
Cook them on the griddle to YOUR pleasure – crisp as you want – you can keep flipping until it’s “there” . . .
Slice – garnish – serve – Enjoy! ( used Guatemalan crema for garnish )
Here’s a couple of videos – Simply Mama and Arnie Tex are both great channels for good and simple ( for the most part ) recipes and how-to’s . . .
