An awesome Mexican side dish when made from scratch, authentic Mexican recipe

 "I could not believe how spicy these beans were! They were tasty and everyone enjoyed them, but you may want to adjust the seasonings to suit your own taste. Pretty simple to make in large batches as well. We tripled the recipe and fed about 40 with it." - timgraham1

    too much cayenne pepper, and i used a potato masher instead of a spoon to mush the beans. it saved loooads of time..super delicious though!!

    Great as a side dish for tamales, too! I added my own spices to taste.

    The more you mash the beans, the better this will turn out [I posted this recipe.]
