Pinto Beans Rancheros image

From Safeway Brand Pinto Beans package: "This delicious Mexican-style side dish is mild enough to compliment a variety of entrees. Try it with enchiladas and fajitas, roast chicken, hamburgers and meatloaf." I have made this recipe and my family has asked that I never serve "regular" refried beans again.
