EASY REFRIED BEANS (REFRITOS)
These yummy refritos are made from canned red beans for quickness and convenience. I think they are a BIG step up from regular refried beans out of a can!

Steps:
- Melt bacon grease in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat; add onions and jalapeno; cook and stir until tender; add beans a half-can at a time, stirring to incorporate; add seasonings to taste.
- Cook beans, stirring frequently with wooden spoon and mashing them (use the back of the wooden spoon or even a potato masher) as you go, for 15-20 minutes until liquid evaporates and beans thicken; top with cheese and serve.
- NOTE: If you like your refritos especially smooth, run them through the blender or food processor before cooking.
JALAPENO REFRIED BLACK BEANS
A zesty, flavorful version of the traditional refried beans. Jalapenos add a mild heat and the cheese adds a subtle creamy flavor. These are a big hit at potlucks and fiestas. This is easily doubled or tripled.

DELICIOUS EASY REFRIED BEANS
Refried beans out of the can, while generally okay, aren't very flavorful. I always spike up the flavor this way, and folks have told me that I have to share the recipe so they can get to it. ;) These beans aren't the dense, flat refried beans you're used to. They're lighter and packed with flavor! Use with any dish that calls for refried beans.

LOW-FAT HOMESTYLE REFRIED BEANS
A real nice side to a spicy Mexican dish. And these are so much tastier than canned refried beans, while still taking advantage of canned rather than dried beans. The recipe comes from Light & Tasty.
