Got to wondering....
I know, canned refried beans are so cheap that it's not cost effective to make your own,
Dose anyone make there own?
Dose one boil the beans, then mash and fry them?
Do the hulls "cook down" Don't see any in the canned refried beans.
Thanks!

Look for a recipe on the Ken Rollins YouTube site. I'm sure he'll have one.

Refried Beans are a no brainer for this Tx. boy. Boil them until almost over cooked, in fact you almost can't cook them too much but it will be easier if they are not too watery. The other method is to cook until done but not breaking apart and them drain in a colander. Then put them in a frying pan with some oil and use a potato masher or spoon to crush them. Keep working them the entire time they are on the stove or they will stick.
Most Mx. restaurants add a generous helping of lard to the beans. I like some bacon grease added for flavor but that is not traditional. Usually the Beans are only lightly seasoned, mostly salt & pepper, but a little garlic, oregano and cumin won't hurt. Try black beans and Anasazi beans for something a little different than the usual Pintos. Each time you re-heat you go through the same process and the beans get better.

Some times we save bacon to crumble and serve over top. I've found mashing the beans in hot bacon grease is more than enough goodness to go around.

The key is IMO, not to mash them too much. Leave a little texture. My kid worked at a Mexican restaurant once and told me they put them in a blender. WTH is wrong with people?

I like to add chorizo about equal amounts of raw beans to chorizo,

Like some of them flavors that ol boy tossed in them beans. Interesting the mayo and sour cream.
Least he got the mashing right.

Smash buracho beans in lard or bacon fat in a cast iron skillet. Keep the bean juice handy to moisten it as you go.

Least he got the mashing right. Try a quarter stick or so of cream cheese in your beans after you are done with the flavor profile next time and incorporate. Dare ya! I do it often.

Im gonna try that trick Greg. Sounds like all thats needed is a good warm tortilla. A secret for you, if you haven't tried tortillas from Tortillas Bryan, your missing the best kept secret in Tucson. Little hole in the wall factory on 4th Ave block and half south of 29th, give em a try and tell me what you think.
