What a way to enhance any Mexican dish. These taste so much better than any can of refried beans I have ever had. I put all the ingredients in a food processor. They came out a bit runny but when mixed with meat, perfect! Will always make. No cans for me!

OMIGOD! Awesome!! These are toooo good. I can't believe how a little tomato and garlic can give such a wonderful flavour. Better than my favourite restaurant. I followed the recipe exactly - just reduced the oil quantity a little. Thanks a lot for sharing this!

I put the dried beans in a pressure cooker to speed up time and use less energy. I soaked 2 cups dried beans overnight and processed in the cooker for 6 minutes the next day. I then drained the water and added the rest of the ingredients to the beans. I used a potato masher, but should have used a food processor for a smoother consistency. Then I added one cup of the juice/water left over from the cooker and let everything simmer for about 30 minutes. It was okay, but I thought it lacked something. Maybe it didn't taste right because I used the pressure cooker and didn't boil them for hours.

I didn't have time to cook the beans, so instead I used a can of refried beans and added some red peppers to the rest of the ingredients, and I must say that these beens were simply fantastic! I used them on top of the Authentic Huevos Rancheros recipe and it was so tasty! Thanks!

This was my first time making refried beans. These were easy to make. I followed the recipe other then I used a can of diced tomatoes. Mine only took two hours to cook. I had to add a lot of extra water while cooking which decreased the taste from the chili powder and cumin. Hubby thought they were a bit bland tasting.

Using pressure cooker -- for 4-5 whistles before letting it cool slightly, enough to open -- then 'refry' the beans with the spices cuts down the time by half. A can of diced tomato is a good substitute, too. My hubby and bro-in-law loved it. We put it under and on top of warm nacho, too, just like in restaurants.

Excellent. We did make a few minor changes. We used 3 medium sized cans of Pinto Beans instead of dry beans and we added some dices onions.. Overall the recipe was superb and very easy when done with the canned beans !

Fantastic! I used a can of diced tomatoes with zesty jalepenos instead of a fresh tomato and I left out the oil to healthify the recipe even more. Very good.

I think I'm done buying store bought. I skipped the tomato b/c I didn't have one and, forgot to put the garlic in during the simmer, and didn't want the oil. Loved it none the less.

Good. I can't have garlic, so subbed shallots instead. Beans that haven't soaked will be tough. Soak overnight and throw out that water. Replace with fresh water and continue with the recipe. Or bring beans to a boil. Let sit for an hour or two, then toss that water. Use fresh water and proceed with recipe. Or just use canned beans. Changing the water will take the toot out of the beans. Also, be sure not to add the salt until the beans are almost cooked through. If you add it early, the beans will be tough. If using canned beans, you won't need to add salt as there is plenty in the beans already.

this recipe, although time-consuming, was fantastic! the flavors worked well together. the only thing was it was a little to dry for my taste, not as creamy as expected. next time i will cook the beans longer and add a bit more oil.

As is this recipe is a great base to start with but tasted to me like it needed something. Next time, I will try replacing the tomato with a cup of salsa for some spice.

This recipe was great!!! this was my first time making beans like this and i was shocked at how wonderfull it came out. I followed the instructions exactly but i added a few more ingediants. I added a full onion cut in half a full tomato and a couple cloves of garlic oh and some cilantro leaves. They veggied basically disinigrate and just become part of the water mmmmmmmm it was so goood> these beans have so much flavor you dont even need to refry them!!! dont forget to add salt though. Salt is key. Always taste your water until its at the point you want it!! Also flavor takes time to come to its full effect so dont be dissapointed if taste it the first five minutes after you incorperated everything and dont love it trust be IT GETS SOOO GOOOOD!! in time.. :)
