SMOKY REFRIED BEANS



Smoky Refried Beans image

Once you've made your own beans you will never go back to the can. There simply is no substitute. They are quick, simple, and delicious.

Provided by groovyrooby

Categories     Black Beans

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 garlic cloves
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained, reserving 1/4 cup of liquid (black beans also work well)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder (less for a lower heat-tolerance)
1/2 lime

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Add whole garlic cloves and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Smash garlic cloves with a fork just enough to break them open and flatten them a little.
  • Add pintos and liquid and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add spices and salt to taste. Stir well.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and smash beans with a big fork. You don't have to smash every single bean. Leave some whole for texture.
  • When mashed to your liking, squeeze the lime juice all over the beans and serve warm.
  • These beans make a great taco filling or tostada topping. My husband likes them mixed with a little salsa and eaten as a dip.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right beans: Pinto beans are the traditional choice for refried beans, but you can also use black beans, kidney beans, or a combination of different types of beans.
  • Soaking the beans: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. You can also quick-soak the beans by boiling them for a few minutes, then letting them sit for an hour.
  • Cooking the beans: You can cook the beans in a pot on the stovetop, in a slow cooker, or in a pressure cooker. If you're using a pot on the stovetop, be sure to simmer the beans over low heat so that they don't scorch.
  • Mashing the beans: Once the beans are cooked, you can mash them with a potato masher, a food processor, or an immersion blender. If you want a smooth refried bean dip, use a food processor or an immersion blender.
  • Seasoning the beans: Refried beans are typically seasoned with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or oregano.

Conclusion:

Refried beans are a versatile dish that can be served as a dip, a side dish, or a main course. They're also a great way to use up leftover beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make delicious refried beans at home.
