You Can Make Refried Beans at Home (From Scratch)

Refried beans are a staple of Mexican cooking and they really are so easy to make from scratch. Learn how to make traditional homemade refried beans from start to finish. I think I've captured the traditional way to make Mexican Refried Beans. This recipe also is vegan and low in fat. You could even make them fat free by leaving out the little bit of oil used here. You can make them thick or thin depending on your taste.

First cook the beans until soft:
1 pound of dried pinto beans
1/4 of a large onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 Jalapeño

Soak beans overnight, drain and rinse. Add to a large pot with enough clean water to cover 1-2 inches. Add the vegetables and heat to boiling. Simmer for 1.5-2 hours until the beans are soft. Remove the onion, garlic and jalapeño.

Make the refried beans:
1/4 diced onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 jalapeño, chopped
Cooked beans with some of their liquid
1 tsp salt, more to taste
Pepper to taste
1.5 TBSP vegan chicken flavored bouillon powder
1 TBSP oregano - Mexican oregano is best, but use regular if you don't have it
2 TBSP cumin

Heat a heavy bottom wide pan and add a tbsp of oil. Sauté the vegetables with a pinch of salt and pepper until softened. Add beans and the seasonings. Mash with a potato masher until the beans are to the consistency you like. Continue cooking with stirring until they thicken up to the desired thickness.
