| 441.1 | Some ideas | COOKIE::WILCOX | Database Systems/West | Wed Apr 26 1989 12:34 | 10 |
| Usually when I have this kind of thing I like to also have corn
muffins or corn bread. If you happen to get the WW magazine they
had a wonderful cheese-jalapeno bread recipe a few months ago that
would also do nicely. Just watch the number of breads for the
day. You might also want to do a side of rice spiced with
tomatoes and peppers. Or, make your own refried beans (I have no
idea how, but I'm sure someone does). The beans count as
protein so you might be ahead. Perhaps a cheese stuffed pepper
(what are those things called?)

If you want to use refried beans, plan to get them out of a can;
they're supposedly non-trivial, and it's too late for tonight
anyway -- you have to soak the beans for a while first. Casa
Fiesta is a good brand.
I like to use picante sauce as a dressing for taco salads.

Don't they make refried beans out of lard?
It might be better to make your own with canned whole beans!

| 441.4 | I think some are lard-less | ATSE::BLOCK | Back in the High Life again | Thu Apr 27 1989 10:17 | 9 |

There is definitely fat in refried beans, but I don't think it has
to be lard. Casa Fiesta products are sold in Health Food stores
and coops, and I'm pretty sure they use vegetable fat. I'll try
to remember to check the label when I get home.

| 441.5 | 'homemade' refried beans | FSTVAX::SWEENEY | Susan Sweeney | Thu Apr 27 1989 12:11 | 14 |
| I just recently tried a great new WW recipe for tortilla pie...
the 'crust' was 6 corn tortillas lining a pie plate, then it called
for a mixture of stuff for the 'filling'...canned kidney beans mashed
up, green chilies cut up, onions, and some other stuff that I can't
remember. It make a very yummy, spicy concoction. I served it hot
with shredded lettuce and chopped tomatos and grated cheese. My
husband suggested trying it with seasoned meat too. It was great.
The bean mixture ended up to be the consistency of refried beans
but it tasted 1000 times better and I was able to count exchanges
because I knew exactly what I put in it.
