SMOKY REFRIED BEANS

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.

SMOKY BEAN SOUP



Smoky Bean Soup image

This is a recipe from my dad's vegan cookbook. My sister used to be vegan, so he made it up for her and the rest of us, if we wanted to try the recipes. Time does not include soaking overnight. You can do the quick soak method, but may have to cut down the first cook time to 1 hour. If your family is like mine, I would puree the whole thing after it's done, LOL! Then they can't complain about the beans!
