I started with pinto beans and cooked until soft. After the water had cooked down in the beans, I added a couple of packages of chicken boullion. Adjusted the recipe as far as amounts of seasoning as best as I could guess. Must have done a good job of it because it tasted great. A lot cheaper starting with dry beans. Versatile recipe and used exactly your listed seasonings.

This is very good. The recipe I use calls for canned pinto beans that have been drained - which is how I always make it. I'm sure the refried beans are good but if you want to control the seasonings go with the canned pinto beans.

I have made this at least a dozen times over the years. I usually just eyeball the spices and it comes out fine. Today I doubled the recipe and found that I had no cayenne left. I put a coupld of good squirts of Sriracha sauce and it only added to the flavor I thought. I pickle my own jalepeno peppers and my brine is on the salty side so I add less salt, but more peppers. Today I usesd a name brand of fat free refried beans and I can't tell the difference from the regualar ones. I have also used cheap store brands and it still tastes great.
