Since I've seen so many folks here eating Taco Bell's pintos and cheese I decided to share my VERY authentic refried bean recipe, modified to make it fat free. I'm from San Diego, married to a man who is half Mexican, so believe me, this is the real deal. This makes a lot, so half the recipe if you want 4 cans pinto beans, two drained, two with juice 1/4 cup minced onion 1 TBS minced garlic UP TO one cup of chicken broth Salt and pepper to taste Spray deep skillet with Pam and cook onions until clear. Add garlic and stir a bit, don't let it brown.  Add all the beans (remember, two drained, two not drained), stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and allow to cook for about 1 hour uncovered.  As the liquid cooks off, add chicken broth a little at a time so the beans don't dry out. After about an hour, using the back of a spoon, mash most of the beans. Add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy.  Sprinkle a little cheese on top....Yummo! Serving size:  1/2 cup Cals:   100  Fat 0  Carbs 20   Fiber; 6   Protein;  6

Thanks Rhonda!  I look at it and still think "is that really me?"  I'm still camera shy though, wonder if that will ever go away?!
