homemade refried beans
(1 rating)
I've always wanted to make my own homemade refried beans as I have been told once you do, you will never buy canned again. You can start with the recipe I posted (Frijoles de Olla or Beans from the Pot) to use homemade beans to start. The beans used in this are pinto. Enjoy as I will be!

How To Make homemade refried beans
-
1In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until deep golden, about 10 minutes.
-
2Stir in the garlic, cook for a minute or so, then use a slotted spoon to scoop in about 1/4 of the beans, leaving most of the liquid behind. Mash the beans into a coarse puree. -
3Add another portion of the beans, mash them in, and continue until all the beans have been added and coarsely mashed.
-
4Add about a cup of bean liquid or water and stir frequently over the heat until the beans are still a little soupy (they’ll thicken as they sit). Taste and season with salt if needed.
