Actually not much work at all... no law says you can't use canned
beans and canned lard... in fact I prepare refried beans with canned
black beans most every time I pan fry pork chops, right in the same
pan... after removing the chops takes about 6-7 extra minutes, just
dump in the beans, turn up the heat, and mash with my trusty Ecko spud
masher, the one with the flat round disk with square perforations...
mash, mash, mash until reduced to a consistancy you like Don't forget
to add back any juices from the chops. Pork chops, refried beans,
corn tortillas, y cervesa... all ready in under 20 minutes, perfecto!
