This isn't about politics. It's about food. After BBQing steaks, burgers, and sockeye the past few days, it was time for a change.

I'm not vegetarian, so I don't make many non-meat lunches or dinners. However, a former co-worker shared this with me about 25 years ago now, and I still enjoy it. Had it just last night after nearly forgetting about it for many months.

In a glass pie dish:

1 can of refried beans, spread around a the base. Heat this up to 4 minutes in the microwave.

then add:
1 small can chopped green chiles &
1 small can chopped black olives &
about 4 green onions chopped. Spread these around and add:
I avacado, sliced and chopped &
1 tomato, sliced and diced.

Now add however much fresh salsa suits your taste.
Cover with sour cream.
Cover with grated chedder cheese.

Return to microwave for about 5 minutes, but before the sour cream and cheese curdles.

Serve it up, or just start digging in with corn tortilla chips.

My hypothesis is that the corn tortilla chips and beans form a complete protein, and with a couple beers, it makes a very satisfying dinner. I drank Full Sale Amber.

See what you think.
