Much better flavor than canned refried beans! These are made from dried pinto beans. Of course, you can add black beans in place of some or all of the pinto beans. I added these to my tacos (https://www.cherylsrecipes.net/recipe/tacos/) last night, and it was fantastic!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup dried pinto beans 4 oz.
- 3 cups water
- 1/4 large sweet onion diced
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp. chicken base Better Than Bouillon Organic
- 3/4 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. black pepper
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne powder
- 1 T. lard
- 2 T. cilantro fresh, chopped
- 1 tsp. lime juice
- Mexican cheese shredded (or your choice of cheese)
Servings: cups
Instructions
- Place beans, water, onion, garlic, chicken base, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne in crock pot. Cook on high until beans are tender (8 hours or so). Heat the lard in large skillet over medium-medium high heat. Drain beans and add to skillet. Mash the beans coarsely with the back of a wooden spoon, adding more chicken broth if needed, to moisten. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Top with shredded cheese.
