Description
Re fried Beans is a type of mashed beans, a staple of Mexican cuisine. Raw Pinto or Black beans are soaked overnight, cooked, mashed and fried with fat and seasoned. Mostly Pinto beans are used for this recipe which makes a great snacking dip for Nachos, stuffing for tacos and burritos, stuffing for chunky enchiladas or a simple accompaniment for Mexican style rice. Here comes the recipe for my Taco cradle.| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Pinto beans |
| ¼ tsp | Onion powder |
| ¼ tsp | Garlic powder |
| 2 tsp | Taco sauce |
| ¾ tsp | Salt |
| 2 tsp | Vegetable oil |
| ¼ cup | Cheddar cheese |
| 2 cup | Water |
Instructions
Soak dried Pinto beans overnight in water. Next morning wash them in cold water and drain completely. Pressure cook the beans with 2 cups water and salt for up to 6 whistles. When the steam releases, open and mash them along with onion powder, garlic powder and taco sauce. Add oil and cheese, simmer until it turns to thick mass. If its too dry, trying mixing little fat or stock to bring it to creamy consistency. Serve this with toppings of choice along with tortilla chips.
Notes
Substitute
Onion powder ~~~ Finely minced onions (1 tsp)
Garlic Powder ~~~ Finely minced fresh garlic ( 2 cloves)

If using fresh onions and garlic, pressure cook them along with the beans.

Mullai,
I love pinto beans, I used to make Sambhar with this, adding 2 tsps coriander powder along with 1 tsp sambhar powder. It tastes very good. Try it and it will be a very nice.
I will try your mashed bean, tastes good, I have tasted in mexican restaurants.
It is not expensive and healthy, tastes awesome, this is a permanent stock item in my pantry.
Looks like a healthy thing. Will try…
Healthy when taken wihtout fat and cheese, which you can always substitue with any vegetable stock. Pinto beans are an excellent source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, folate, and manganese. Also a good source of protein, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, potassium, copper and vitamin B1. Enjoy!!
Thnks for a detailed reply, Mullai.
