SPICY REFRIED BEANS



Spicy Refried Beans image

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups dried red kidney beans
6 cups water
2 tablespoons corn oil
1 1/2 onion
3 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 cup tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 jalapeno peppers
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Rinse the beans and put them in a large pot with the water, corn oil, 1/2 onion, chopped, and 2 teaspoons of salt.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then turn down the heat, cover the pot, and simmer the beans gently for about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the cover and cook the beans a little while longer, until completely tender and the remaining liquid is thick.
  • In a very large skillet, beat the olive oil and saute remaining onion, chopped, and the garlic until golden.
  • Add the tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, lemon juice, and spices.
  • Pour the beans, together with their liquid, into the seasonings and stir.
  • Over a low flame, and stirring often, cook the beans together with the seasonings until the mixture is quite thick, but still moist. Time will vary, but it could take as long as 45 minutes. If the beans become too dry, just add a little water.
  • Stir in the butter and if desired the grated cheese. Continue stirring over the low flame until the butter and cheese are melted.

Tips:

  • Use day-old beans: Day-old beans are less likely to break down and become mushy when refried.
  • Rinse the beans: Rinsing the beans removes any excess starch, which can make the refried beans gummy.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor is the easiest way to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency for your refried beans.
  • Add spices to taste: The amount of spices you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Refried beans can be served with a variety of toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Spicy refried beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be served as a side dish, a main course, or a dip. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own spicy refried beans at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
