Why the fuck are my homemade bean and cheese burritos so bland compared to actual restaurants? It's beans, cheese, and tortilla right?
>>22126791probably because you just straight up suck
How did you eat them? If you didn't cram them you probably lost a lot of flavor that way
where's the lard?
>>22126791Larde and Salte
>>22126797LOL, got his ass. Add some MSG you fucking prick!
>>22126802on OP
>>22126791you forgot the secret ingredient
>>22126799I’ve never once seen a fellow patron cram a burrito up their ass at my local bean and cheese spot. So I’m inclined to believe you are pulling some sort of prank on the Food & Cooking board. After all we’ve done for you…
>>22126791Diced onions, red enchilada/burrito sauce
>>22126868I considered the onions but that seemed counter productive, but the sauce is a good idea i think. Saw it on the grocery shelf and left it.
>>22126791It's how you cook and flavor the beans. I recommend looking up the most basic Mexican methods for cooking pinto and/or black beans. Oh, and use dried beans.
>>22126878>onion>counterproductiveDo you just hate flavor?
>>22126810Damn good idea actually, I did try MSG and it helped a bit, but I suppose I gotta make it all from scratch. hardly seems worth it at that point but im hoping they freeze well.
>>22126791Msg. They add msg. And a lot of it.
>>22126791Lard, MSG, etc. Get a clue.
>>22126791Make these and all of your bean burrito problems will be solved. Refried Bean Burritosmakes enough for 8 small burritos or 6 biguns1 pound dry pinto beans, inspected/rinsed (I found a rock before, be careful)1 yellow onion, diced8 oz bacon (raw weight), well-cooked and chopped fine2 tbsp rendered bacon fat OR lard OR butter if you must5 cloves garlic, minced OR 1 tsp garlic powder4 cups chicken broth (regular sodium)2 cups water1/2 cup salsa (hot is better, adjust amount to taste)1 tsp cumin powder1/3 tsp paprika1 tsp kosher salt2 tbsp dried oreganoSaute onion in bacon fat until translucent. Add garlic+spices+herbs and cook for another minute or two. Deglaze with salsa. Add bacon, beans, broth, and water. Cook until beans are tender and skins are starting to come off. Takes ~2h in my old-school pressure cooker, watch water level for regular cooking. You can add all kinds of shit to this. It was amazing with 3-4 chipotles+adobo. I add smoked paprika sometimes. Takes ~5 minutes to refry and make a burrito.To refry: heat ~1 tbsp of bacon fat/lard in a nonstick/cast iron pan, add beans, stir, mash to desired consistency (I use the back of my wooden spoon for personal batches, potato masher for large ones), cook until it starts to clump (can leave them soupy to use as a side dish too). Add more salsa if you want. Make the rest of the fucking burrito. A good tortilla goes a long way.
Either everyone in the world is baiting about not being able to cook simple bean burritos or everyone is retarded
shallow deep fry your burrito
Are your homemade beans refried? Did you add MSG or an ingredient with MSG?
>>22127012I'm vegetarian. Do you have a vegetarian recipe. Also I'm scared of pressure cookers and refuse to allow one in my home so do you have a recipe for regular pots? And I'm not a fan of refried bean texture.
>>22127032Just leave the bacon out and use veggie stock
>>22127032No, sorry, I'm straight. Also stop being a pussy about pressure cookers, do you value your time at all?
the MSG helped, but i also added provolone!
>>22126819post so goated it gave me dejavu
>>22127114Inside shot?
lard is the correct answer
>>22127367*and it should be in the tortilla too (they are easy as fuck to make)
>>22126878if you own a blender your can easily make an incredibly flavorful red sauce with some dried peppers
>>22126791Seasoning, white boy. Seasoning.
