Sooo, I was feeling lazy for dinner so I decided to see what I had in stock: dried pintos, milk, lemons, flour water, cilantro, onions, and one lonely avocado that Jed didn't steal. End result:
Cheese: Brought milk up to a boil added some lemon to curdle. Saved the whey to drink and let the curdles cool in cold water. Strained then ran the curdles through a metate and added salt for my cheap version of mexican cheese.
Boiled bean to make refried beans. Added lard right before refrying. (Is that even a word?)
Mashed avocado and added onions and cilantro.
Mixed flour with water to make home made tortillas. Rolled out and cooked on comal.
All together for a dinner of: fried beans with cheese sprinkled on top with guacamole and flour tortillas with whey for my drink.
I love comfort food. =)
happy food
