FRIJOLES REFRITOS

Tex-Mex style refried beans.

You will first need to make a batch of frijoles en olla for this recipe.

Ingredients

(serves 4-6)

3-4 cups drained cooked pinto beans
Broth from cooked pinto beans
2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Procedure

Heat oil in a medium skillet.
Add drained cooked pinto beans to the skillet and mash up into a paste. (I use an old hand potato masher but a perforated metal cooking spoon also works well).
Sautae the beans over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning and adding a little bean broth as necessary for proper consistency. The finished beans should be like thick library paste in texture.

Rating

Difficulty: easy.
Time: 10 minutes, plus cooking time of frijoles en olla.
Precision: no need to measure.
