Rinse the legumes and soak them ahead if needed; simply drain canned beans.

Cook the onion, garlic, peppers, or tomatoes until soft.

Add Pinto beans, Fresh cheese and stir into the aromatic base.

Pour in the water, broth, or coconut milk from the recipe and simmer until tender.

Mash part of the beans if you want a thicker texture.

Serve Frijoles Refritos hot as a main dish or with rice or flatbread.
