Refried Beans - Cooks Illustrated image

This is simple enough. If you have the time, try cooking pinto beans from dried using my Cooked Dried Beans (Recipe #354834). Use for dinner as a side or for breakfast burritos. Check the liquid (water or broth); you may need a little more than the original measurement.

Categories     Beans

Time 21m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 ounces salt pork, rind removed and diced very small
1 small onion, chopped fine (about 3/4 cup)
1 jalapeno chile, seeds and ribs removed, chile minced
1 poblano chile, seeds and ribs removed, chile chopped fine (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 teaspoon table salt
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 1/2 teaspoons of small cloves) or 3 garlic cloves, pressed through garlic press (about 1 1/2 teaspoons of small cloves)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Process broth and all but 1 cup of beans in food processor until smooth, about 15 seconds, scraping sides of bowl with rubber spatula if necessary. Add remaining beans and process until slightly chunky, about ten 1-second pulses.
  • Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add salt pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until fat has rendered and pork is well browned, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer pork to small bowl with slotted spoon and set aside (you should have about 2 tablespoons of fat left in skillet.).
  • Increase heat to medium-high; add onion, chiles, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cumin; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beans and stir until thoroughly combined. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro and lime juice, if using, and serve.

  • Mince the garlic. Drain the beans and reserve the can liquid in a glass measuring cup. (Use water if using cooked beans.)
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but before it browns.
  • Turn the heat to medium low and carefully add the beans (liquid hitting oil can cause it to spit!), 1/2 cup of the reserved can liquid, cumin, chili powder, and kosher salt. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding the remaining 1/4 cup can liquid when it starts to become drier. (How long you cook will depend on the bean brand or whether you’re using beans cooked from dry.) When the liquid gets thick and the beans become easy to mash, remove from the heat. Mash with a potato masher until the desired texture is reached. If you’d like to loosen up the texture, add more water. Serve immediately.

  • Put the beans, whole garlic cloves, bay leaf, and water in the pressure cooker. Stir, and then lock the pressure cooker lid, Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes in an electric pressure cooker, or 30 minutes in a stovetop pressure cooker. Turn off the heat and let the pressure come down naturally, about 10 minutes. Remove the lid and discard the bay leaf and garlic cloves. (Save the beans and the cooking liquid).
  • While the pressure is coming down on the beans: heat the vegetable oil in a large fry pan over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the onion, smashed garlic cloves, jalapeño, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sauté until the onions are browned around the edges, about five minutes. (If the beans aren’t done, turn the heat off and move the pan to a cool burner. When the beans are done, put the pan back over medium-high heat and continue with step 3.)
  • Add the beans and all of their cooking liquid to the fry pan. Be careful – the hot oil may splatter when the wet beans are added. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the beans. Start mashing the beans, stirring as you go to get the onions evenly distributed. Keep cooking the beans, mashing and stirring occasionally, until the beans thicken, about eight minutes. Taste, and add more salt if necessary. Serve.


5 RECIPES USING REFRIED BEANS - THE SPRUCE EATS

From thespruceeats.com
  • Mexican Pizza. Pizza doesn't always have to be topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. Give what can often be a predictable dish an unexpected Mexican twist.
  • Four Bean Chili. Refried beans are the fourth Monterey in this rich and hearty recipe and lend a creamy texture and depth of flavor to the dish, making it seem like you simmered the chili all day.
  • Beef Tacos. These beef tacos is an Americanized taco recipe from the 1970s, but it is still delicious—and economical—today. Mixing refried beans into the ground beef creates some heft in what can be an otherwise light meal.
  • Ground Beef Tostada. A ground beef tostada is like an open-faced taco—a crispy fried tortilla is layered with ground beef, vegetables, and cheese, as well as any other toppings you prefer in your Mexican dishes.
  • Layered Taco Dip. This layered taco dip is a colorful appetizer that will get a party started! Around since the 1980s, layered taco dip has remained a favorite.
