There's nothing new under the sun and all but what do you consider your recipe? Something you cobbled together out of scraps and it turned out amazing or maybe you started at something known and iterated on it enough to make it yours?

I have a lot of these, but one that might be suitable for Hexbear in particular is my

beanis Burritos:

This has no hard or fast rules and you can use whatever beans you like.

Fry a diced onion, some chillies (ancho is my fav)and garlic in a pan with olive oil. Add two cans of rinsed beans, I typically use kidney and black beans.

Fry the beans and season them with taco/fajita seasoning. Add some tomato paste, salsa, some wine if feeling fancy and a can of baked beans and some water.

Cook the bean mixture until its nice and thick and well flavoured.

Take large tortillas and fill them with the bean mixture. Here you can add cheese or vegan cheese, avocado, salsa, sour cream, lime juice and some crunched up tortilla chips before rolling the thing up, depending on what you have.

It's great cheap everyday food. I typically make quesadillas from the leftovers.

Fry the beans

can you actually fry beans in the sense of a mailard reaction or is this just warming up? Because if former that'd be revolutionary to me

Beans fry beautifully in a pan imo. They start to pop and jump, but develop great flavour.

I often fry chickpeas in some oil with garlic, chili and spices too, just to snack on. They are delish.

Edit. Another great fav is pan fried taters & beans. Flavours can be whatever. I've done fried black beans and potatoes the most. A Bombay potatoes type seasoning is for example great and it makes a full meal. Recommend pan frying your leftover taters with beans for sure.
