I am in Sweden and I wanna make a Taco Bell recipe that I found but I need some kind of refried beans what beans should I use?

Edit: it ended up being the carne asada recipe! Thanks everyone for the help! https://www.seriouseats.com/carne-asada-food-lab-recipe-kenji

Hi everyone! During COVID times in 2020 I discovered one of my favorite SE recipes ever. It featured a marinade/salsa/sauce that included oranges and smoked chiles in adobo. It was spicy and so, so delicious.

I can’t remember if it was an Instant Pot recipe, or if it was chicken, steak, or pork. But the sauce ended up more of a deeper red if I remember correctly. I always made extra because my partner and I loved to eat it with tortilla chips.

I’ve done some googling but nothing is popping up. Does anyone have any ideas or does this sound familiar to you? I’m dying to make this again. I hadn’t done it in a while because it does take some time and I have to pull out the blender, etc but it’s been on my mind lately. Would love to see if the community knows which one I’m thinking of!

Edit: it also used dried chiles that were meant to be rehydrated.

I usually stick to making her chocolate version and decided this year to try a few different variations:
- roasted strawberry: added about 3/4 cup of roasted strawberries and their juices (half of this to the whipped cream, other half to the whipped egg/sugar mixture and then fold everything together)

- salted caramel: just used up about 1/4 cup of store-bought salted caramel, brought to just above room temperature to where it was fluid

- maple walnut: used about 20g of maple sugar for same weight of sugar; used toasted sugar to cut back on some of the sweetness, toasted walnuts and then boiled in maple syrup for a few seconds. alternated with ice cream base and walnut/maple as I loaded up the container.

what other variations are out there?

The updated one is more authentic and better no doubt. But I’ve been making my kids the old version all their lives and it’s their nostalgic preference. Can anyone help me out and share the old recipe?

This looks a lot like AI Slop, and the mixer they're talking about does not come with stainless attachments either.

I used to make the sushi rice from Serious Eats many years ago and it was great.

I recently went to look up the recipe and noticed that some people commented and said the recipe has been changed since the original version that was by Kenji, and they noted the new ratios are terrible/off.

I was wondering, does anyone have the original recipe ingredients/ratios from before the change?
