Canned Pinto Beans for Refried Beans

Don’t just heat up canned/bottled food, put some love into it and make it 10x better! ☺️

It's hard not to make refried beans when we have authentic spanish rice.

Whether it’s Taco Tuesday or time for some huevos rancheros. These simple refried beans elevate your dish to a whole nother flavour experience!!

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

Living in Western China, pinto beans are rare, so I use kidney beans.

I love refried beans now for my taste I don't use oil or salt

These beans are creamy and nicely seasoned. They come together super quickly. Perfect for taco night. Recipe adapted from : gimmesomeoven.com

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.
