    Refried pinto beans we eat with breakfasts or in burritos.

    Black beans from cans, reheated with some cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar or jalapeno brine. My family (except for me) prefers black beans above all others.

    Bonus easy recipe - get a can of cannelini beans and a can of pureed butternut squash or pumpkin. Heat these together with some olive oil, curry or berbere, salt. When they are hot, hit it with an immersion blender until it’s a puree and adjust the consistency to your preference with chicken broth, veg broth, or just water is ok.
    Serve with lime slices, pepitas, queso fresco if you have it or a splash of cream or sour cream can also be good.

        Other fun ideas: fried eggs with lima beams and tumeric. All in the pan together, the beans will merge into the egg whites and get a bit crispy if done right.

        Bean curries are always a winner.

        And don’t forget garbanzo beans (chickpeas) and lentils!
