Chris has this problem...When he reads books that have anything to do with meals, he wants to eat exactly what is being described in the narration...I call it a problem because I am usually the one that has to figure out how to make it!
Well, at the moment, he is reading a book by Cormac McCarthy. So far, the book has various descriptions of ranch hands along the U.S./Mexican border eating beans and tortillas as their main dish....So this morning, Chris decides that he can't take it anymore and just has to have some charro beans...and so it begins....Of course, I have little or none of the ingredients in my pantry or fridge so he volunteers to run to the store in ice-storm conditions to get what is needed.
Within hours, we had whipped up some yummy beans! Ingredients consisted of bacon, carne asada, cilantro, garlic, and of course the beans!!! Me, being an avacado lover, had to throw some in my own bowl. (Chris thinks it messes up the taste, hater!) I whipped up some homemade tortillas and had it out on the table ready to eat in a jippy!
And this is a picture of Chris, literally passing out from disbelief at how good they came out!
