HOW MANY CALORIES IN REFRIED PINTO BEANS RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Cook garlic cloves in hot oil, turning once, until brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Smash garlic cloves in skillet with a fork.
• Stir pinto beans, cumin, chili powder, and salt into mashed garlic and cook until beans are thoroughly heated, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Smash bean mixture with a potato masher to desired texture. Squeeze lime juice over smashed beans and stir until combined.

Steps:

• Wash and sort the pinto beans to remove any debris.
• Place the beans in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak for 6 hours, adding more water as necessary to keep the beans submerged.
• drain the beans and transfer to a large pot. Cover by two inches with water and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and simmer the beans for 2 hours, until very tender.
• Drain the beans, reserving 2 cups of the cooking liquid.
• First, heat a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil just to coat the surface of the pan. Swirl the pan to coat with the oil. When the oil shimmers, it’s hot enough.
• Add the garlic and jalapenos and cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
• Add the beans and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup bean cooking liquid and bring to a simmer. Add the lime juice and paprika and cook until the water is mostly gone and the beans are very soft. Season to taste with salt and if you like, puree or mash the refried beans.
