Homemade Refried Beans

May 3, 2014 by Jessica 2 Comments

Refried Beans!!!

I don’t know about you….but I am so excited it is finally SPRING! As I write this I am making a list of everything I need to buy this afternoon for my garden. I am planting tomatoes, green peppers, haberno peppers, lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini, and summer squash. And who knows…maybe I will throw some other things in as well! Check back in for organic gardening updates!!!!

In honor of Cinco de May I thought I would share my favorite refried beans recipe. To say I have an addiction to this stuff is an understatement. I currently make it at least once a week. It is really simple and quick and keeps well throughout the week. I use the beans to make wraps to take to work for lunch, to eat with my eggs in the morning, or to use as a dip. The best part is when you are starving and out of time, if you have these beans in the fridge, you always have a meal. They are filling, healthy, and delicious.

Enjoy!

Local Ingredient: Organic Onion (Purchased at the local farmers market).

Ingredients

3 cups pinto beans, cooked and drained

Olive oil

1/4 onion diced fine

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/2-1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

sea salt, to taste

fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent.
  2. Add the pinto beans, garlic, cumin and chili power. Saute for 1-2 minutes, until spices become fragrant.
  3. Add the broth (start with 1/2 cup and reserve the rest for later). Allow to simmer 10-15 minutes, until the bean are tender enough to mash.
  4. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to mash the beans to desired consistency. Add the extra broth as needed to achieve the desired texture.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
