real Mexicans will sometimes throw a hunk of light bread in there to

That is actually pretty cleaver mashing them up and

How do you guys get away with all the carbs in
beans?

1 cup of pinto beans is 37 grams. I would blow
my carb count for a meal at 1/3 cup.

Not sure about the physics on the carbs. Have heard folks say beans have a bunch. Everybody from Texas was raised on em and eat them at least once a day and sometimes twice on Sunday. They claim if a person eats them along with corn it makes a combo complex protein which neither offers alone..and which is only slightly inferior to animal sources. Try eating them with cornbread..pepper sauce and raw onions. That prob knock them mean old carbs right in the head.
