Refried Beans: Mark 3
Gonzalo Landeros @gonzalo_valerdi
This is a recipe originally taken from Leslie Koehn’s Brazilian Beans, but I altered it through trial and error to fit my needs. This resulted in a mix of healthy and delicious ingredients that will put any restaurant’s refried beans to shame.
Note: After you learn to make it, neither restaurant nor store bought refried beans will ever taste the same again as your taste buds will only demand the rich flavors that only this very own dish can provide!

- 1
Place the beans on a pot and soak them with water. Leave them overnight. If you want a quicker soaking method, bring the beans to a boil for 5mins and then leave them for 1 hour.
- 2
Drain the water from the soaked beans (they should look puffier now)
- 3
Sauté the tomato, onion, parsley, garlic, and oil together for about 5 mins or until they change color. I like to use a canned tomato that comes pre-sliced and has garlic and oil included, but only for efficiency reasons. A fresh tomato works very well too.
- 4
Add the cumin, turmeric, and oregano and mix it all well for another 5 mins
- 5
Add this mix into a pressure cooker of your choice (I cook it all on my instapot) and add the beans. Fill it with water until it covers the whole mix.
- 6
Add the 2 tbsp of vinegar and bullion, mix well and cover.
- 7
Pressure cook the whole mix for 35 mins (on instapot set the pressure to HIGH and keep warm to ON)
- 8
When the time is up release the pressure from the pressure cooker, almost done!
- 9
Depending on the consistency you like, you can blend half of them or all of them. You can even serve them as is and put it on soup! (for a mushier texture blend half. If you prefer a more restaurant style look blend all of them)

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

Refried Beans - Slow Cooker
This is, by far, the easiest way to make homemade refried beans. It does take some planning ahead, but for the most part, this recipe is very hands off. These are creamy and nicely seasoned. They're not spicy, so long as you remove the seeds from the jalapeno. Feel free to substitute the pinto beans for black beans to mix things up.

DOUBLE-RICH BROTH NOTE: The secret to the awesome flavor of this dish is the broth they're cooked in. Whenever I make a pot roast or shredded beef in the slow cooker, I save all the extra broth, which is concentrated, that comes from cooking them; vacuum seal it and keep frozen until I've enough to make these delicious refried beans. Store-bought broth just won't do! Try my beans and you'll agree they're well worth the extra effort!

I thought I had refried beans and well I didn’t and the recipe I was making called for it, so I came up with this... and because I was already using taco seasoning for the dish I was making I added it to the beans too. I was making my beans dip and I didn’t have the main ingredient lol.... this recipe turned out awesome and I might be making my refried beans this way for now on, way better than the can stuff, and so easy.

Tortilla Greens Chickpeas Salad Bowl with Refried Bean Dates dressing
The reason why I like to prepare my own meal at home. Because I realized that outside meals are contain too much sodium and fats. Even on salad, they added too much salad dressing to make it taste more delicious. Yes, that’s true it tastes delicious. But it contains too much salt and fats and that’s not good to our body. To avoid it, actually it’s very easy to make your own salad dressing at home. And of course by making your own salad dressing you can leave out the salt.And here I make my own salad with my own salad dressing. Always remember, being healthy is precious!
