My great grandmother taught me how to make mayocoba beans and since then I love to cook them

Buttery Mayocoba Beans

Chef Adriana Martin
I love the taste of the mayocoba beans, they are buttery and delicate. In Mexico are called frijoles canarios. This type of bean is very good for mashing and serve as a dip, for quesadillas, tostadas or sopes. And for making refried beans for your upcoming parrilladas.
