Made some refried beans & rice, the new smasher is ok.
Marinated the shrimp in a little oil, garlic, salt, a lot of taco seasoning, & the juice of 2 limes....and probably a little hot sauce. They started on the left side, & then rotated to the right after about 3:30
I was in the local Mexican meat market several years ago & looked up at the ceiling. You know .... they hang the pinatas & stuff up there. So... they have bean mashers hanging from the ceiling. Got one. It works great. Inexpensive, too.
Tacos look great Clint. For me mashing the beans just takes persistence. You've seen my cheap little masher. They come out creamy and good though. Love the shrimp. Never tried it on tacos.
