You actually need to soak your beans and drain before cooking them? I keep reading that you and you don't need to.

What do you guys do?

Speaking of black beans, I used to eat refried black beans mixed with garlic and black pepper, with a little bit of salt. Sometimes even with hot sauce as well.

That's lunch sometimes. Half a can of black beans with canned garlic. Mash it all up, add a shit ton of cilantro and a bunch of hot sauce. Eat with corn chips or Finncrisp.

Just had a bowl of black beans and onions.

As a kid I would have puked, now they're tasty. What a weird world.

We never had beans much growing up. Canned baked beans was about it, and they weren't my favorite. I like them pretty well now, but especially like black beans. Wegmans sells canned "ethnic" beans that are pretty good. I'll heat up a can for dinner sometimes. They have Caribbean black beans, Indian chickpeas, and Italian cannellini.

Wow I can’t remember the last time I had a Frito. They make ‘me with cheese now? Yummy!

Caribbean black beans sounds interesting.

It was the opposite for me growing up, grandparents were from the boat and lived through the depression so there were beans galore soaking.
 
Chili Cheese Fritos have been around since the mid-80s.


Famous lightweight backpacking meal: dehydrated refried beans with Fritos (and cheese, if you have some).

Out of curiosity, how does ground turkey go with refried black beans as in tacos and burritos? Anyone tried this before?
 
I've had ground turkey tacos. Once you douse it in taco seasoning, there's not that much difference from ground beef. Never tried turkey in a burrito.

I've been buying 93% lean turkey for burgers for years, but I add a generous amount of garlic powder, onion powder and A1 or worcestershire sauce to get it to taste like anything. I think I'm done doing that ... beef just tastes so much better, and is easier.

Only reason I'd add refried beans would be for a double-decker taco, with a crunchy taco shell interior wrapped by a soft tortilla with beans. I still prefer refried pinto beans (Rosarita's are the standard) over any refried black beans that I've found, which often have funky seasoning.

I just made some bean dip for tortilla chips. Rosarita's spicy refried beans, finely diced sweet onion, some minced garlic, a bit of hot sauce (La Victoria Salsa Brava).

When I waiting on getting disability, lot of times food pantries would sometimes give me a few lbs or so of frozen ground turkey. Properly seasoned it comes out pretty good.
