Re-fried Beans

I make a pot of my dad's beans almost every week. We love them! We use them in tacos, on the side with enchiladas, in quesadillas or sometimes I won't refry all the beans from the pot and I'll put them in a soup.


Re-fried Beans

3 c pinto beans

2 Tbsp salt

¼ c- ½ c vegetable oil

Rinse beans. Put beans in a large pot and fill pot with water about ¾ full. Bring to a boil, turn down to medium heat and cook 2-3 hours until beans are soft. Add salt during the last ten minutes.

Once beans are done cooking, warm up a thin layer of oil on medium heat in a frying pan. Once warm, add beans a spoonful at a time and mash. You'll have to add some of the water from the pot so you won't have dry beans.
