Instant Refried Beans Mix
3 cups of dried beans, any variety
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
In a coffee grinder, food mill or blender, grind beans until a flour
consistency. Mix all ingredients together until they are well blended.
Store in a large airtight container or jar.
TO USE:
3/4 cup Instant Refried Bean Mix
2 1/2 cups boiling water
Combine bean mix and water in a medium-sized saucepan. Mix with a wire
whisk until combined. Don't worry about the lumps, they are tasty and add
texture to your beans. Bring to boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer
for 4-5 minutes or until thickened. Mixture will thicken more as it cools.
Refried beans will remain thickened even when reheating.
