Refried beans are to keep your rice from falling off of the fork.

[@DUEYZ4U]

Refried beans are not just "leftover" beans. They're made usually using bacon lard and pinto beans with other seasonings as preferred. Darren is right in saying they are delicious and are a perfect pairing w/Spanish rice, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, guac, and your choice of enchilada, chimichanga, or other main dish item. Cilantro, fresh onions, queso, and good salsa set these dishes in their own league. 👍👍

Texas is like a parody of itself and they are super proud of it. Even the Tex-mex thing sounds almost like an insult "oh that's nonsense, it's not real Mexican food at all" "You're right, we took it bastardized the shit out of it and made it better now it's Tex-mex."

[@susantownsend8397]

Right, none of us pretend that Tex-Mex is like food in Mexico, and not even vaguely like West Coast Mexican. A fiend born and raised in a small town in Mexico cooks food similar to Tex-Mex though. And refried beans are great, made from fresh or dried pinto beans, NOT leftovers. If you ever get a chance to try fresh pintos, grab it. They are so good. I can sometimes get them in the summer at Hispanic grocery stores.

I grew up in Cali during my high school/college years and my dad worked for Chevron Texaco at the time and he'd need to go to Houston often. I'd try and get free time often because the food is so good there. But he'd always complain about the weight he was putting on by going there so often lol. Kinda sucks living in the Pacific North West now because it's rare to find good Texas BBQ and most places don't offer things like beef ribs. Or if they do, it's one day a week. Also I like to make my own refried beans because I like it a bit more chunky than what you'd get at restaurants. But it can go with so many things. And yeah when he said breakfast tacos, drool. They have some great ones in Cali too but I feel like a breakfast burrito is more common there. (Unironically the best one I've had was at a gas station.)

Re-fried beans Can be made from left over beans BUT, usually aren't. Pressure cook the bean with seasonings, mash the beans and let it cool down. Place in containers and cool overnight in the walk-in fridge (so the flavor develops), bring out the next day. Put in a large pan on the gas stove, add just a little water, and start warming - have to add some oil from the taco meat that you have cooked, Pan up the beans and eat within a few hours with red sauce and grated cheese on top.

Refried beans are not an after thought or made from left overs. They are a staple food and can be found to accompany many meals much like rice in other cultures including Mexican rice. Also, being from southern California I will judge any restaurant on how they prepare their refried beans. I can tell if they are from a can or homemade from scratch and if you can't give me authentic beans then I have no use for anything else you have to offer. I may be a snob about it but I have also grown up around it. Growing up and having my friends mama's spending all day in the kitchen to prepare beautiful family meals. They lifted my expectations.

Hey Office Blokes, As a New Jersey resident, I can totally relate to having pride in my state, and I appreciate everything the Garden State has to offer. Watching your reaction to “10 Things That Shock Texas Tourists” reminded me that every American state has its unique charm and pride. It’s what I love about this country-diversity and individuality in every corner. Cheers to exploring the quirks and charms of each state.

Daz if you are in Philly for a day or two you should really check out a Flyers game. It's a great experience. NHL season will be in full swing by then. Flyers have one of the best fan bases in the NHL.

Texas is the Greatest State in the Country. I love Oak Cliff. I love Austin. ❤❤❤❤

I can confirm my wife has never met someone she doesn't want to talk to. I'm always willing to lend a hand, but I enjoy quiet a little more than she does. 😂

Refried beans is nothing like refried beans lmfao 😂

[@pointlessmanatee]

HEYYYY! I live in Spring Texas in between Gunspoint and the Woodlands!!!

Texas has more square miles than France. My father, in the days before technology was part of most everyone's work place, put fifty-thousand miles a year on his company car. No accidents.

[@bobwallace9814]

I live in Arlington and have for decades and a few things this Wolters character didn't cover. Texas is the only state that has it's own power grid. Which means we are not under Biden's boot when it comes to energy. DFW with a population of 8-9 million has the third largest airport, in the world. Houston's port is the 4th largest deep water port and there is plenty of oil production. We don't need the rest of the US. The lone star is incorporated into every pro teams logo. We are the only state that the state flag is NOT subservient to the US flag. They can be flown at the same height and even on top. When you hear.....bless your heart, the translation is F you. We have no state income tax or a DemoRat Governor since the younger Bush became Gov decades ago. Please and thank you, yes sir and yes ma'am are mandatory. English, Spanish and TexMex are the languages.

[@Robert-lb5st]

Except for the grid Biden is not to blame for power failures more like our terrible governor

[@90whatever]

yeah. Our electric grid is fantastic here in Texas. Brownouts all summer long from CPS here in the San Antonio area. total blackouts with winter westher. Shitty power grid. Sucks. And the tax burden is way more here with the huge property taxes compared to when I was in the military in many other states. Use facts. There’s a reason why Texas isn’t high on the list of states to retire. High taxes that wipe out no state income tax. Lived here all my life but reality is based on facts. Many people who feel this way haven’t lived in any other states.

[@Robert-lb5st]

Yes English Spanish and Tex-Mex are definitely the languages. But thanks to our bought and sold governor that gets into the pockets of any entity that benefits him,fk the taxpayers is his mentality

[@jwashburn6768]

Please feel free to move out of Texas. I have NOT experienced brownouts all summer long. We had one issue in February of 2021. The storm hit the entire state, which had never happened before, nor since. Fixes to the grid have been made. As far as property taxes go, yes, they are high, but we do not have state income tax. Most states have both.

[@AKHWJ3ST]

@@90whatever I have lived in Calif, AZ, NM, Texas, and Alaska. I have lived in Texas the longest and it's here I intend to be buried.

[@GoinBand2]

That's just bread. Texas Toast is buttered and toasted and extra thick. You normally get it with chicken fried steak or a steak finger basket at Dairy Queen.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

Live in So. Cal. Earthquakes??? Yep. I'm 68, lost one tea cup!!!! So sad😪

[@bmo1878]

The brisket is more than a portion she probably got it by the pound planning to bring some of it home

[@Grimm-UGA]

I know the vid is about texas but to say its name like 20 times in a couple minutes drove me crazy 😅

If you work on a ranch or an oil rig you do eat like that.. Cause you're gonna sweat it all right back out that day.
