Crispy Refried Beans
Ingredients
  • 5 quarts water, or as needed
  • 1 pound pinto beans, washed
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • canola oil
Instructions
1
Combine water with pinto beans and minced garlic in a large cooking vessel, ensuring it is covered. Simmer the mixture over low heat for 5 and a half hours. Introduce salt into the pot and continue cooking until the beans have become extremely tender, taking approximately 30 minutes longer, adding more water as necessary during this time to maintain the beans' coverage.
2
Heat canola oil in a hot skillet over high heat. Carefully transfer the bean mixture to the skillet without discarding any excess water; utilize a masher to crush the beans until they start to break down, approximately 3 minutes later.
