Mexican ABTs

DMW

In the ABT thread the other day @tonyled mentioned refried beans and cheddar cheese as a filling. I decided to give it a try.
Refried beans with Dizzy Pig Fajita-ish:

Topped with grated cheddar cheese:

Wrapped in bacon. I decided to try half without toothpicks:


Some more Fajita-ish, I'll probably go lighter on the top coat next time, they were a bit salty:

Indirect on the small. Started out at 250* and let it drift up to 350*:


Finished:



These were really good, will be adding these to my appetizer rotation. Made for a nice afternoon snack.

Looks great.... I never "toothpick" the bacon.

Very interesting cook. I have never considered using refried beans, but I plan to give it a try.

Nice way to change it up by putting anew spin on an old classic. I like it.

Those look killer Dwayne!  Very nice.

Very nice and inventive variation. I always wrap the bacon tight and have not needed the toothpicks.

Nice stuff. Makes me hate winter and look forward to sitting outside grilling again. 

Dobie

Will do this, thanks.

Wrap those things like the end of a hockey stick, tooth picks become optional. Must try retried beans and cheddar - maybe even adding a chipotle in adobo, smashed with the immersion blender and mixed with the beans....My goto has always been chorizo sausage and cream cheese - time to get out of the comfort zone.

Thanks everyone. And @shtgunal3 @epcotisbest @Skiddymarker - I'm done with the toothpicks, confirmed they aren't needed.

@blind99 - Too cold to sit out by the egg, not too cold to make some ABTs.

Good stuff.. Need to try this. I usually stick with my cream & cheddar cheese mix with breakast sausage

Those look great.  I can't wait until my kids start liking spicy food!
I never go through the trouble of making ABTs if it's just for me, but when I've tried them....  Mmmmmmm, so good.

SGH

Looks like a winner to me ole buddy.

Dwayne .....those must be done here. Very nice.

tonyled

winner winner!

glad you liked them!  i tend to experiment and figured that one out a while back

try a sweet rub to offset the saltiness.  i like pecan or a sugar maple.  it sorta candies the bacon
