Refried Beans

Mr Bean.

... is very nutritious!

I've liked the Tex-Mex kitchen from when I was small. Taco's, burrito's, quesadillas, and so on. Served with some nice home made guacamole, maybe a salad on the side and of course some refried beans!

Mmmm! Refried beans are something you must have on your table when serving Tex-Mex food!

They are a perfect side dish. Or maybe put some in your wrap, or stick some tortilla chips in some refried beans and heat in the oven with some grated cheese on top. Delicious! And really easy to make.

Refried Beans

Ingredients:

• 1 can of Pinto Beans (or dry pinto beans)
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tbs oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tbs cilantro, chopped
• additional: cumin powder, grated cheese, sour cream, ...

Preparation:

If you use dry beans, put them a night in slightly salted water to soak.

Heat the oil in a large skillet and fry the onion and the garlic. Add the chili powder and give it a stir (I like to add 1 tsp of cumin to). Now add the beans and cook until the beans are warmed through.

Mash the beans with a wooden spoon. If the beans are to dry, you can add some chicken broth to moisten. Stir in the cilantro.

Your refried beans are ready to serve! You can also put the beans in the oven with some grated cheese on top before serving. Or serve with some sour cream on top.

Enjoy!
