Photo: Refried Beans Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder, or other chili powder
- 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, preferably low-sodium, drained and rinsed
- 2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth, plus more if needed
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and chili powder and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the beans and chicken broth and cook until the beans are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Mash the beans coarsely with the back of a wooden spoon, adding more chicken broth to moisten, if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the cilantro.

I am picky about how my refried beans are prepared so I was skeptical of this recipe. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at how well the flavors complemented each others. After reading other reviews about the overwhelming garlic flavor, I used one clove of garlic which was perfect. Also, I added half the broth initially and then added more to get the right consistency. All in all, a very good recipe.

This recipe was great. It was perfectly paired with Ellie's spinach and mushroom quesadilla. Will definitely be making again.

My family and I LOVED them. So, easy to make, but I have to agree with some of the others. One may want to cut back on the chicken broth or it will make them runny...
