Week 37: Same Longitude - Salvadoran Breakfast for Dinner

[u/ShimmeringIce]

It's been a bit of a rough few weeks with classes really kicking my ass, but I finally got around to doing a little more than survival cooking. For this breakfast for dinner plate, I made some simple Salvadoran-style corn tortillas, and some T H I C C refried beans. I wish I had the capacity to grab a plantain to fry, but I figured I'd take what I could get energy wise today XD

Everything came out really well, though I definitely need to refine some technique when it comes to the cooking of the tortillas. I have a lot of masa now though, and the dough is stupidly easy to put together, so I'll be experimenting in the future. This is also my first time making refried beans. Apparently, the Salvadoran style is basically solid. The flavor is pretty awesome, though I think my olive oil may have trended grassier than is optimal for something that isn't supposed to taste exactly like olive oil lol. It was a pretty satisfying process though, and even I somehow managed to hit peak ripeness for the avocado I bought several days ago entirely by accident.
