Semi-homemade Mexican refried beans: Growing up in Texas, I love Mexican food…well, actually… I love Tex-Mex food. It is its own blend of gloriousness and the abundance of cheese in tex-mex food had me from day one. But one of my other favorite things to order at tex-mex restaurants is refried beans! This is a simple, much less time consuming and far more nutritious way to enjoy refried beans at home!
