Refried Beans Made Healthy
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked beans
- 1/4 onion, diced
- 2 dried arbol chilies or serrano/ jalapeño pepper (optional but recommended)
- 2 tbsp Fresh Press Farms Olive Oil
- 1/2–3/4 cup bean broth, water, or vegetable broth
- Salt to taste
Preparation
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent and fragrant. Add the chilies and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked pinto beans and a splash of bean broth or water. Use a bean masher or the back of a spoon to mash the beans to your desired consistency.
Keep on low simmer for 5-7 minutes, adding more liquid as needed until the beans are thick and creamy.
Season with salt to taste. Serve warm as a side dish, or use in tacos, burritos, molletes, tostadas, and more.
