Sd Refritos Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beans

   Rinse the pinto beans under cold water and soak them in water for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Beans

   In a large pot, add the soaked beans and cover them with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Drain the beans, reserving some cooking liquid.

3. 3

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cumin, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Mash the Beans

   Add the cooked beans to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the beans to your desired consistency. Add reserved cooking liquid as needed to reach the desired creaminess.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Season the refried beans with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm as a side dish or as a filling for tacos and burritos.
