Best Homemade Refried Beans Recipes

MEXICAN STEAK WITH HOMEMADE REFRIED BEANS

Steps:

• Put the steaks on a plate and rub them all over with the oil, chipotle paste and ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper. Leave at room temperature while you start the beans.
• For the beans, soften the onion in the oil in a frying pan. Once softened, stir in the spices for 2 mins, followed by the tomato purée, chipotle, sugar and vinegar. Tip in all the beans with 1 tsp salt, some pepper and half a can of water. Bubble gently until the water is almost evaporated.
• Heat a griddle or non-stick frying pan (or a barbecue). Season the steaks with salt. Fry, with the peppers alongside, for about 2 mins on each side, until the steaks are cooked to your liking and the peppers are charred. Lift the steaks onto a clean plate to rest for a few mins while you mash two-thirds of the beans. Stir in the whole beans and check the seasoning.
• Slice the steaks. Spread a good pile of beans onto 2 plates, and top with sliced steak and peppers. Add the avocado, a big squeeze of lime juice, some coriander leaves, a good dollop of soured cream and a pinch more paprika, if you like.

HOMEMADE "REFRIED" BEANS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or pot, saute the onions and garlic in the butter until they are soft and tender. Add the beans. If your beans are completely dry, you may need to add some liquid (milk or water) at this point. I generally leave some of the cooking broth in with my beans when I freeze them, etc, so I usually have plenty of liquid to get me started. Add all the seasonings and spices. Mix well. Bring to a slow simmer and allow everything to cook on a low heat for 10-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning and sticking. This simmering period allows all of the flavors to "meet" each other. ;) At this point, you will need to decide what consistency you are looking for in your beans. If you like a smoother, runnier texture, slowly add some milk (or water), mixing as you go. I don't have any exact measurements for this part of the process, since it really depends on your preferences! Once the beans have cooked down sufficiently and aren't too thick or runny, mash them with a potato masher, fork, food processor, or hand blender. I like to leave some chunks to avoid a total "baby food" consistency. Serve with tacos, burritos, nachos, or as a dip! (Note: this recipe is a little more on the "flavorful" side. I wouldn't exactly call it spicey, but if you have delicate tastebuds in your family, try starting with a lesser amount of spices at the beginning. You can always add more if need be!)
