“I’ve never looked at a recipe for refried beans, and I’ve never attempted to make them before. So with this recipe, I was just wingin’ it and they turned out rather tasty. Adjust flavors with some jalapenos, chili powder, or whatever you like. If the color throws you (it is rather dark), use kidney or pinto beans.”
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 4

2
(14 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
-
2
small garlic cloves, minced

2
tablespoons olive oil

salt and pepper
directions
- Pour the beans in a food processor and pulse to blend.
- Once most of the beans are mashed up, keep the processor running and slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
- Add the garlic, salt and pepper and let the beans blend for at least 3 minutes, making sure it’s nice and smooth.
- Scrape the beans into a small saucepan and place over low heat, stirring often, until the beans are warmed through.
- Taste to adjust for more salt or pepper.
- Serve hot with tortialla chips or Spanish rice as a side, or smear into a tortilla with some veggies for a burrito — or just eat them right out of the pot.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I’ve been vegan since February of 2005, and I was vegetarian for almost a year before that. I love cooking vegan food. People always ask me, “What do you eat?” or, “Doesn’t being vegan make it harder to cook?” Nope! In fact, I’ve found that going vegan opened up a whole new world of cooking for me. I’ve tried ingredients I otherwise never would have heard of, and found vegan products that are even better than their non-vegan counterparts. I love creating new dishes and recipezaar has been a wealth of inspiration.
