Y'all act like Latin America had no influence from Spain, which had heavy Moorish influence.
True but I'm pretty sure the indigenous people here made mashed beans before they were colonized lol
So has literally every culture on earth that had beans.
I meant more the al pastor.
Every culture has some variation on bean paste.
This thread is mostly a joke, not that serious. I'm literally a middle easterner that lives in sonora
Al pastor is actually a lot more recent than the Moors.
Shawarma was imported by Lebanese immigrants to Mexico in the late 1800s. The meat switched over to pork based on availability and the fact that the Lebanese immigrants were mainly Christian.
Refried beans
Don't shoot the messenger
What am I? ICE?
And salsa is just tomato chutney.
Which makes sense since it's a fruit
And both are delicious.
Yes, that is why I'm making refried beans rn
We can keep going. Salsa is Latin ezme
Al Pastor is Mexican Doner
It's thought that al pastor came about because of Lebanese refugees in Mexico. So yeah, pretty much exactly.
Quite literally yes

Except for the part where hummus isn't fried even once.
So kinda like foul instead.
Neither are refried beans, but I see your point.
They're pan fried, sometimes with lard. They're not really fried twice, I know that, but refritos means fried.
I grew up eating them and cook them often to this day. I just would not personally call that frying in the same way I would not call vegetables, meat, etc. cooked with a similar ratio of oil to veggie fried. Or at least where I'm from frying implies submerging in hot oil, but it could be a regional thing. And true, we still call them fried or refried beans.
Interestingly some variations of the recipe with higher oil ratios for special occasions like birthdays we call "frijoles chinitos" which kind of translates to "shivering/goosebumps beans" since their texture changes to mimic skin when shivering with little dots after cooking. Not sure how the chinito (curly when referring to hair) part comes in since hair is more straight than curly on those conditions...)
Pans are often called frying pans. Pan fried is just a bit of oil in a flat pan. Deep fried is submerged like French fries or fried chicken.
Both are yummy!
I never thought of Hummus as a typical leftover food. Is that so?
I'm here to say that I've put ketchup in my bean burritos, in tacos, in pizza, and in sushi.
I know my days are counted but I will have ketchup on my pizza tomorrow if I indeed are given the light of day once more.
