There really isn't much good mexican food here. I know a lot of people love it, but I'm not sold on that huge chain Chipotle. I want it to be like Cafe Rio, and it's not. I'd even love it if we could just find a place like Beto's ( that's how desperate I am), but no such luck. So we've been making our own uneducated verisons of mexican food. This is a fried tortilla topped with beans and cheese and broccoli (weird, i know, but good!), melted under the broiler and then pulled out and topped with fresh tomatoes and homemade guacamole. Uno mas?

Beans the Kris way:
get dried pinto beans, rinse them, soak them in water for about 4 hours-the water to beans ratio should be 3 to 1(soak them longer if you want to let them soak overnight). drain the water, put in fresh water so it rises above the beans just a little bit. put in freshly chopped onion and garlic (to taste), bring to a boil, then let simmer for 3-4 hours. salt to taste (they require a lot of salt). once you have good beans all you need is cheese, avocado and/or salsa, tortillas, and you have a tasty Mexican meal. it's what we're eating today!
