Texas Beans

A couple days ago I shared my recipe of Chicken Tacos with Cilantro Dressing and Mangos. While I was making that dish I wanted something that would compliment it. I often make refried beans but this time I did not want to smash the beans, but instead try something a little different. This is the result and it turned out great. Molasses adds such a unique flavour to dishes – but beware, adding too much can ruin a dish.
