Best Refried Beans Ever!!
Got this recipe from my mother-in-law who is from Guadalajara Mexico. She converted the traditional "lard" recipe to olive oil. These are better than any restaurant I have been to. Way better than canned and so cheap to make. Full of iron and healthy carbs.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash and scrub the dry beans in a colander.
- 2
Transfer beans to a large pot.
- 3
Fill pot with water 4 inches from the rim and bring to a hard boil.
- 4
Boil for 15 - 20 minutes and carefully drain beans into the colander. This process will help reduce the gas that occurs after eating beans.
- 5
Replace beans to the pot and cover with water 2 inches from the rim and bring to a boil.
- 6
Reduce heat to medium low and simmer the beans, covered for 4 hours.
- 7
In a large and deep frying pan, heat the oil on medium heat.
- 8
Add the onion and garlic stirring occasionally to caramelize, turning the onions and garlic a golden brown.
- 9
After the caramelization process is complete, begin spooning the beans into the oil with a slotted spoon. Try to avoid getting too much water into the oil.
- 10
After all the beans are in the pan, sprinkle on the garlic salt. Do not throw out the bean broth.
- 11
Mix everything evenly with a wooden spoon, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- 12
You can tell the beans are done when the oil takes on a milky appearance.
- 13
With a grid masher, mash the beans. This will make them thick and pasty.
- 14
With the wooden spoon, make a well in the center of the beans.
- 15
Next, give the bean broth a good stir and pour the liquid in the center of the well.
- 16
Using the wooden spoon, cut through the beans so the liquid can start to be absorbed by the bean paste.
- 17
Blend the beans and broth together till smooth and even.
- 18
If your beans are too wet, simmer till you have the desired consistency. Be sure to stir frequently or your beans will burn on the bottom.
- 19
Serve with corn chips or tortillas. Spoon into burritos or have next to carnitas or on top of nachos.

I love this recipe because it is so simple and fully customizable. You can add more or less of anything to suit your taste, like if you prefer spicy, add 1/2tsp cayenne to give it a little kick, substitute the chili powder and cumin with a packet of taco seasoning. And you can multiply the recipe and freeze in 1-2cup portions for quick use in the future :ohyeaah
