I didn't have much of a problem with gas after those tacos, so I dunno.
I made Michael a car bomb cake for his birthday. Chocolate stout cake (I used Guinness) with a Jameson dark chocolate ganache filling and Bailey's cream cheese icing. I freaking love this cake. I made it once before without the ganache and it's much better with it. The icing, though...I made a Bailey's sugar/butter icing last time and while this time I like the icing more, I feel like a chocolate icing would be so much better. (The cake itself, which chocolate, is not an overpowering chocolate.) Maybe next time I'll make a Bailey's white chocolate filling with a Jameson chocolate buttercream or something.
Either way, this cake rocks and is definitely the most moist cake I've ever had. And it's not too rich, so I can eat a big piece without wanting to die. Yuss.

My American friend introduced me to refried beans in a tortilla with ground beef and onions, topped with grated cheese and sour cream. He tells me it's Mexican. It was filling, but a bit bland. Next time, I will add more chili sauce and a chopped-up bell pepper.
I don't trust some of the stuff that goes in it, though. The fluid that was drained from the pan with the meat formed a thick layer of solid fat on the sink, and those refried beans were pretty far from looking like actual beans.
Carl-E:
be glad the fat was rendered and poured off the pan rather than being in you...
And yes, refrying beans is like mashing potatoes, they bear no resemblance to the originals.
The meat needs taco seasoning at the very least, a concoction of chile powder, garlic, and other spices. Without it, you're talking bland as the tortilla it's wrapped in... and hot sauce helps!
Redball:
In a nearby bar, the tacos sometimes ooze a little orange grease. I assume that's from inadequately drained ground beef with the taco spices added. What would add the color -- ground chili? paprika?
Papersatan:
Cayenne pepper turns fats red. Also, orange cheddar cheese oozes orange grease.
