Homemade Refried beans & Tacos









I want to thank my family for all their support in this crazy new life style. Christian requested Tacos tonight for dinner, so here it goes...

Refried Beans:
  • 1 lb bag of pinto beans
  • 1 small onion
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbls olive oil
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbls chili powder
Directions:
Cook beans according to directions on bag. Once they have boiled add chopped onions and garlic, replace lid until beans are soft. Drain beans reserving liquids. Place beans in a food blender and chop/smash till desired texture. In sauce pan heat olive oil and add seasonings and beans, add enough liquid to keep the beans moist. Add sea salt to taste.

Tacos & Toppings:
  • Corn tacos (double check ingredients some may have soy or other unwanted ingredients)
Of course, add what ever toppings you like, here are some I like:
  • Chopped tomatoes
  • avocado/guacamole
  • cilantro
  • diced red onions
  • chopped red lettuce
  • plain Greek yogurt (I did cheat here, but a great sub for sour cream, and I feel it is better than the soy dairy replacements they have)
  • Fresh squeezed lime over the top
Enjoy!

  1. This turned out pretty good and the family enjoyed... I feel like the refried beans needed a little more flavor of some sort? ...Note for next time.
