Mamacita Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hey Maureen-- Refried beans are super easy...just get canned (tinned, I think is the term you all use) pink,black or pinto beans. Heat a saucepan, add some olive oil, then throw in some diced onion. Add a clove of minced garlic, (careful not to let the garlic brown), then dump in the beans. Smash with a potato masher. Some people like them very smooshed, like a puree, and some (ME!) like them with some of the beans left whole. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and let it simmer for a while, til it thickens. I usually serve the fideo and beans with a salad. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 thanks Mamacita! Wiccibat - I swim, and in this heat it seems a good idea..but it may be a little tricky to not get the ingredients all wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiccibat Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Yo tambien, Maureen but god knows what the coastguards would make of 2 women in the middle of the med passing ingredients to each other! Smugglers? Illegal immigrants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamacita Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 You could always say you're members of a super secret religious sect and were in the middle of making an offering to the Goddess of the Sea. ...Just a suggestion. BTW, after talking about the fideo, I went ahead and made some for dinner last night. YUM! There isn't a scrap left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 My wife who is hispanic (Mexican) learned how to cook it from her mother and there are many recipes with various ingredients to it. http://chicken.allrecipes.com/az/FidMxicnSpghtti.asp http://tinyurl.com/zjh8h ________________________________________________________________ * 2 tablespoons vegetable oil * 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves * 1 (12 ounce) package spaghetti noodles, broken in half * 5 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped * 1 large onion, chopped * 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin * 2 1/2 teaspoons chili powder * salt and pepper to taste * 1 1/2 cups water * 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese ________________________________________________________________ 1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts in the oil until nicely browned on the outside. Remove from the skillet and set aside. 2. Add remaining oil to the skillet, and add the broken spaghetti. Cook, stirring constantly until spaghetti is browned. Drain off any excess oil, and add tomatoes and onion. Dice the chicken breasts, and return them to the skillet. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Pour in water, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat until pasta is tender, and water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Check towards the end, and add more water if necessary. 3. Spoon the chicken mixture into bowls to serve, and garnish with shredded cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
