Refried Beans Refritos

Rinse the legumes and soak them in advance if needed; simply drain canned ones.

Sauté the onion, garlic, pepper, or tomatoes until soft.

Add the Pinto Beans and Fresh Cheese and mix with the aromatic base.

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

Some of the beans can be mashed to make the dish thicker.

Serve the Refried Beans Refritos hot as a standalone dish or with rice or flatbread.
