I love refired beans, which makes me wanna try fried beans, maybe their just as good and we’re wasting time.

Interesting, we normally blend ours. Do you find this has a better texture?
This texture is nice for use with other things like inside a tortilla
Can you share the recipe? They look so tasty.
1 - soak 150g of beans in 1L of water for 12 hours
2 - chuck in an onion (cut in half), bay leaf, 4 pieces garlic, 1/2 tsp salt
3 - bing to boil for 10 mins, scraping off any scum
4 - simmer for 1 more hour, before removing the vegetables + leaf BUT NOT THE WATER
5 - fry an onion (chopped finely) in salted butter until golden
6 - add an chilli (I used ancho and apocalypse red) and 2 pieces garlin, both chopped finely
7 - mash beans + water with a potato masher
8 - add the beans along with some oregano and stir
9 - maybe cook a bit more for the liquids to evaporate and then serve
Thanks!
The way I do this is to start with leftovers from a pot of pinto beans. You strain out a bunch of the beans. Keep the jalapeno, onion, and tomato all in with the beans since they add so much flavor. Put some bacon grease in the bottom of a cast iron skillet. Heat/melt it and then add the strained beans and veggies. Smash it as it cooks with a fork. And smash it way more than OP has smashed theirs. That’s way too lumpy. Should be a lot smoother than that, like a bean dip.
