Dinner!
Tonight was frozen burritos from Trader Joe's. Bean and rice. Mmmmm, delicious.
To accompany the tastiness, I made the following:
Corn
Frozen roasted corn from Trader Joe's. Boiled a small amount of water with some butter, added the corn and some salt, and cooked it for a few minutes.
"Refried" Beans
Used a can of black beans. Rinsed the beans and put them in a small pan. Smashed them up with a fork, then added butter and cooked over medium heat. When they started to get hot, I added cumin and salt. I usually also add coriander, but I was out of it (except for the whole seeds, and I didn't really feel like getting into that, since it was already after 8). The black beans turned out a bit dry - I usually use pinto beans for this, and they are perfect and creamy when they're done.
Mango Margaritas
I used a liquid mango margarita mix and added ice. The big fun trick to this is that I also added a cut-up mango. Then I blended it all in the blender and poured it into glasses I'd rimmed with colored sugar. Yum.
