Buy a bag of pinto beans. Clean them...put them is a crock pot with water, salt and clove of garlic. You will see when they are cooked...you can eat them with muenster cheese and Jalapenos...to fry them, put them in a pan with a little bit of oil and smash them. To spice it up, cook some chorizo with it and cheese... Enjoy...and use real tortillas, corn or flour...
