Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Batch of Cooked Pinto Beans
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, corn, or neutral cooking oil
- 1–2 cups cooking liquid from the pinto beans
Instructions
- Add 2 tbsps of oil and your cooked beans with no liquid to a pan.
- Add 1.5 cups of cooking liquid.
- Let them come to a boil and then simmer for about 5 minutes.
- After they have simmered, mash or blend to desired consistency. Add more cooking liquid as needed for thicker or thinner consistency.
- When you have reached desired consistency and texture, simmer for another 3-5 minutes, turn off heat.
- Plate and enjoy!
Notes
- While the oil is hot add other ingredients to flavor your beans with! Try chopped jalapenos, minced garlic, chopped onion, diced ham!
- Instead of oil add some bacon to the pan, crisp up and then add your beans for refrying. So good!
- To get more chunky, mash them with a potato masher. For more creamy beans, blend them with either an immersion blender or with a regular blender.
- If the beans have cooled or have been in the refrigerator over night, make sure that they simmer for longer than 5 minutes when first placing in the oil. You want them to simmer until they are hot all the way through.
