TEXMEX-REFRIED(V) USENET Cookbook TEXMEX-REFRIED(V) FRIJOLES REFRITOS TEXMEX-REFRIED - Tex-Mex style refried beans. You will first need to make a batch of frijoles en olla for this recipe. INGREDIENTS (serves 4-6) 34 cups drained cooked pinto beans Broth from cooked pinto beans 2 Tbsp vegetable oil PROCEDURE (1) Heat oil in a medium skillet. (2) Add drained cooked pinto beans to the skillet and mash up into a paste. (I use an old hand potato masher but a perforated metal cooking spoon also works well). (3) Saut' the beans over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning and adding a little bean broth as necessary for proper consistency. The finished beans should be like thick library paste in texture. RATING Difficulty: easy. Time: 10 minutes, plus cooking time of frijoles en olla. Precision: no need to measure.
