I'm a little late coming to goat cheese. It was everywhere at one point and I always liked it but didn't quite the fuss. Why should I be in love with it all these years later?

I think it was a trip to Costco and buying Laura Chenel goat cheese and needing to use it before the expiration date. I made tamales, I made sauces but the best was a simple taco with refried beans, a smoodge of cheese and some chopped, pickled chiles. What a swell dinner this was!

I love heavy duty refried beans made with lard and onions but really, you can just mash some in a sauce pan, especially for a dish with other ingredients, and have a fine time.
