Fried Pinto Beans - Allergy Free CookBook

Fried pinto beans are a staple for tacos. They also work well as a paste to spread on pizzas. Easy to make, easy to burn, and very tasty. When the gums or throat are sore, they are a gentle food to eat. A little oil can keep them from clumping too much in a pan. The bean paste taste is refreshing. When frying, stay with the meal, and stir frequently, keeping the mixture barely bubbling. For additional non spice flavor, try adding a bit of tomato juice or pickle juice. Some people make unnecessarily spicy fried pinto beans.
