Re-fried beans
This is an essential recipe if you are cooking Mexican food. I have used pinto beans here, but nearly any tin of beans will do, as what makes the dish is the spices and other ingredients you add to it. Everything can be put together quickly and either added to burritos or used as an accompaniment to Fajitas or Avocada and poached egg which makes a very satisfying breakfast to set you up for the day.
