RECIPE BY: Julesong

Refried beans out of the can, while generally okay, aren’t very flavorful. I always spike up the flavor this way, and folks have told me that I have to share the recipe so they can get to it. These beans aren’t the dense, flat refried beans you’re used to. They’re lighter and packed with flavor! Use with any dish that calls for refried beans.

    Great way to jazz up canned beans! I added 1/2 tsp. of garlic salt and 1/2 tsp. chipotle powder, and added crumbled queso fresco , then heated and served with Chicharrones en Salsa Verde (Chicharrones En Salsa Verde)
