Best Refried Beans image

I used a couple of the other recipes on here for a guideline and did my own thing. It turned out so well that I thought I would share this recipe for the best refried beans. Top with grated cheese if desired. Enjoy with chips, in a burrito, etc.

Ingredients

1 ¾ cups dry pinto beans
1 cup diced yellow onion
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon celery seed
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅔ cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes (such as Hunt's®)
½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)
¼ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Put the pinto beans in a bowl and cover with 2 inches of water. Soak for 8 hours to overnight.
Transfer the beans to a medium saucepan and cover with water by about 1 inch. Add onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook for 1 1/2 hours.
Use a colander to separate the liquid from the solids. Transfer the solids to a food processor with diced tomatoes, hot sauce, oregano, and cayenne. Blend to desired consistency.
