Shredded chicken thigh, pork chili, tortillas, refried beans, Spanish rice

1/3 Cup warm water

2 Tablespoons butter

1 Cup flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

The dough is kept wet and soft and oily. 

I watched a video on refried beans that took hours, with overnight soaking of hard pinto beans.

These are Anasazi beans, sort of a protopinto bean. These are cooked with salt in a pressure cooker for 1/2 hour and blended with emersion blender. Two entirely different techniques with the same result. With a mere teaspoon brown sugar added the beans actually taste like candy, and blended it looks like chocolate pudding. It is a bit too sweet.
