Garibaldi Refried Beans (with Corn & Bacon)

Garibaldi-Style Refried Beans is a delicious Mexican bean dish flavored with bacon, golden corn kernels, and spicy serrano chiles.

Garibaldi is the name of a popular restaurant in Guadalajara famous for its Carne en su Jugo (and its Guinness World Record for the fastest service ever). But that's not all Karne Garibaldi is famous for. They also serve this insanely delicious appetizer made with thick refried beans and golden corn kernels with a never-ending pile of homemade totopos (tortilla chips). And best of all, they offer unlimited refills on this irresistible bean dip.

Just because I don't get to visit Guadalajara often doesn't mean that I can't enjoy this irresistible bean dish at home. And best of all, I get to put my own little spin on this famous appetizer. Traditionally, the refried beans are fried in a lot of manteca de cerdo (pork lard) which gives them a distinct flavor, but frying them up in a little bacon grease with pieces of crispy bacon adds even more flavor, if you ask me. And because I can't live without a little spice, I also fry up a finely chopped serrano chile with the bacon. If you're tired of making the same refried bean dish, you HAVE to try Garibaldi-Style Refried Beans. One bite and you'll be hooked!
