Categories     Beans

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (29 ounce) cans pinto beans (we like Sun Vista)
chorizo sausage, pork sausauge (a 2-inch section)
3 tiny hot chili peppers (preferably from your garden, or use 1 or 2 fresh jalapenos)
1 dash garlic powder (optional)
corn oil (optional)
8 ounces monterey jack cheese, cubed
sour cream, if desired

Steps:

  • Mash and cook chorizo in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Drain half of the liquid out of the cans of beans (or leave undrained, but it will take longer cooking to thicken). Add partially drained beans to the browned chorizo; stir well. Stir in 3 small fresh chile peppers (whole).
  • Bring beans to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-high. Stirring occasionally, let beans continue to cook for 10 to 20 minutes, or until liquid begins to thicken. When beans begin to thicken, mash beans in the pot with a potato masher, leaving some beans whole.
  • Reduce heat to medium; continue to cook and stir occasionally, until beans have thickened to your preferred consistency, about 5 minutes longer.
  • When done, remove the chili peppers. Stir in a dash of garlic powder and a splash of corn oil, if desired. Stir in cubed cheese and remove from heat.
  • Serve warm, with a dollop of sour cream if desired.

These refried beans were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good.

I've never made refried beans before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the beans turned out great. I'll definitely be making them again.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chipotle peppers. The beans were still very flavorful and delicious.

These refried beans were the perfect side dish for my tacos. They were creamy and flavorful, and they really complemented the other flavors in the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my beans turned out too watery. I think I should have cooked them for a little longer.

These refried beans were bland and lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend them.

I'm not usually a fan of refried beans, but these were surprisingly good! The chipotle peppers added a nice smoky flavor.
