Categories     side-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound dried pinto beans, picked over for stones and impurities
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 large red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, lightly crushed with the side of a knife blade, and minced
1 tablespoon Mexican chili powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro leaves or minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, bring the beans to a boil in 8 cups water. Let boil for 15 minutes and skim off any scum that rises to the surface. Drain beans in a colander and rinse. Wash out the pot and return the beans to the pot with 8 cups fresh water. Bring to a simmer, cover and let cook until tender, about 2 hours over low heat.
  • In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add onion and garlic and saute until the onion turns translucent. Add chili powder, salt, and pepper, and cook for a few minutes to allow flavors to integrate. Drain beans and add to pan, mashing the ingredients together. Heat through and serve with minced cilantro or minced parsley sprinkled on top.

I'm not a huge fan of refried beans, but this recipe was surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making it again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beans. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

Easy to make and very tasty! I used canned beans to save time, and they still turned out great.
