Time 35m

Yield 2 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup refined coconut oil, melted (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 large cloves)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
Kosher salt
Two 15.5-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup chicken stock, plus more as needed
2 teaspoons pureed canned chipotles in adobo
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges, for serving
2 tablespoons crumbled queso fresco
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the coconut oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook until the spices are toasted and the garlic has softened, 1 minute. Add the pinto beans, chicken stock and chipotle puree and bring to a boil. Cook until the stock has reduced by about half and the mixture has thickened, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Off the heat, mash the beans to a smooth paste with a potato masher, leaving some beans partially mashed to add some texture. The beans should have the consistency of a thick sauce; if they're difficult to stir, they're too thick. If needed, thin the beans out with extra chicken stock, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Finish by stirring in the lime juice and adding salt to taste. Garnish with queso fresco and cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

These refried beans were just okay. They were a bit bland and didn't have much flavor.

These refried beans were a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my refried beans turned out too dry. I had to add a lot of extra water to make them creamy.
