Best Refried Beans

Best Refried Beans

I used a couple of the other recipes on here for a guideline and did my own thing. It turned out so well that I thought I would share this recipe for the best refried beans. Top with grated cheese if desired. Enjoy with chips, in a burrito, etc.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups dry pinto beans
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 2 large cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2/3 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)
  • ¼ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1
Put the pinto beans in a bowl and cover with 2 inches of water. Soak for 8 hours to overnight.

Step 2
Transfer the beans to a medium saucepan and cover with water by about 1 inch. Add onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook for 1 1/2 hours.

Step 3
Use a colander to separate the liquid from the solids. Transfer the solids to a food processor with diced tomatoes, hot sauce, oregano, and cayenne. Blend to desired consistency.

Tips

When I made this, I added the spices to the food processor because the first spices weren't enough. I don't know how it would change if you added the cayenne to the beans before you cook them (perhaps they would be more spicy?). However, I would definitely wait until the end to add the oregano, Tapatio, and tomatoes so you don't lose their flavors.
