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.

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.

These beans were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would drain them better next time.

These beans were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

I've made these beans several times now and they are always a hit! They're so easy to make and they taste amazing. I love serving them with tacos, burritos, or just as a dip with chips.

These beans were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, they were very good. I would recommend using less chipotle peppers if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not usually a fan of refried beans, but these were amazing! The smokiness from the chipotle peppers really takes them to the next level. I'll definitely be making these again.

These refried beans were absolutely delicious! They had the perfect balance of smokiness and spice. I served them with tacos and they were a huge hit with my family. Will definitely be making these again soon!
