Recipe:
1 pound dried pinto beans or 2 cups of pinto beans
4 cups chicken stock or vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 small onion peeled and quartered
3 cloves of garlic peeled
1 jalapeno seeded and de-stemmed (optional)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar optional
1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse dried beans and remove any rocks or broken beans.
Place rinsed beans in inner pot. Add in stock, water, onion, jalapeno, garlic cloves, vinegar, chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Close Instant Pot and be sure valve is turned to "seal." Set to cook on high pressure for 50 minutes. Hit manual or pressure cook and use +/- buttons to adjust cook time to 50 minutes.
Once cook time has elapsed, allow pressure to release naturally for at least 15 minutes.
Remove lid drain beans over a large mixing bowl, to reserve cooking liquid. Discard jalapeno, then return beans, onions, and garlic to inner pot or blender. Add in 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Blend with an immersion blender or food processor, adding 1/2 cup of the reserved liquid at a time until beans are smooth and the desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust seasoning/salt if needed.

Thank you!
This is my first instapot recipe and now I’m in love with my insta pot and trying all your recipes. I added two cups too much water and my beans still turned out perfectly. I also didn’t have a jalapeño at home so I added some red pepper flakes and it tastes great still. Will be trying again with a jalapeño.

:)
You are so welcome! I love hearing you enjoyed.
I forgot to commenta couple months back when I made this, but I made this recipe and it is the best refried beans, I've ever tasted! Along with a few of your other recipes like hard boiled eggs, rice, and beans in the pot.
Wonderful! I love hearing you are enjoying my recipes!
Just got a Instant Pot Duo Thank you for a great detailed video! I'm glad I found your channel and subscribed.
Welcome! I am so glad you found my channel as well!
Excellent. Thank you
You are welcome!
Just started the pressure cooker. Can’t wait to see the turnout 😊😊. Will update when done
Hope you like it!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
I have them in the pot now. Looking forward to dinner.
Enjoy!
Just made this for Tex-Mex Christmas. They were a huge hit. Thanks.
Wonderful! Have a very Merry Christmas
Thanks for the great recipe. I don't find putting the beans in to soak overnight to be big deal, so I'll do that and reduce the cooking time; no problem.
thanks...
Delicious and detailed recipe! Tastes similar to the canned bean dip you can buy from the store. My family enjoys it as well.
Tip: blend in a bowl if using an immersion blender rather than the internal pot. I made this mistake and scratched up the sides inside of my pot. Whoops!
Thanks for sharing the tip! And so happy you enjoyed the recipe.
I've made refried beans for years and everyone around me loved them. I tried this and it handily beats the recipe I used - it's also so much easier. Thank you!
Wonderful! I am so glad you enjoy so much--and it is always a bonus when so much easier!
So true
Recipe please
Kristen! I just finished the Best Bean burrito I’ve ever had in my life!!! And that’s a long time ( I’m 50)😉... your retried bean recipe is the Best!!! Thank you!!!! Tonya
You just made my day Tonya! I LOVE hearing how much you enjoyed!
A Mind Full Mom oops I missed typed! I meant REFRIED!😂
@@tonyacarey4176 LOL--I followed you!
I just made these tonight. They were absolutely great! Thanks for the recipe. :) PS: With the liquid that was left over I am making a soup.
Glad you like them! And what a great idea to use the liquid!
My recipe is very similar to yours, but I usually cook 6 cups of beans. I remove some of the beans and liquid to a bowl and eat with a side of cornbread. Now, tonight, I cooked pork spareribs in the instant pot, I will save the liquid and use it when I make my next batch of beans. I do. the same thing when I cook chicken.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Had bean burrito for late breakfast... had refried beans as side dish to Mexican chicken casserole.... And I see bean burritos in my future this weekend!!... great recipe Kristen!!🌷
YAY! So glad you are enjoying this recipe.
A Mind Full Mom .... I Love All your recipes!!!!
Adding vinegar will toughen beans. It’s an acid. You need sodium to break down the pectin in the skins. Using a small amount of baking soda will accomplish this. If I feel my beans are a little on the older side, I will soak the beans in water a few hours with a small amount of baking soda, then rinse. You can also add the baking soda to the final recipe. Use 1/4 tsp per cup of beans to soak, 1/4 tsp to final recipe before cooking.
Thanks for the video!! I screwed up and added a bit too much salt. I discovered that fact after I had blended everything. Adding some sour cream and lemon juice helped cut the salty taste. I had quite a bit of left over stock after straining. Not wanting to throw it away I decided to make a medium size pan of soup. Knowing that it was salty I first diced some potatoes to help cut the salt. Adding chopped carrot, celery, poblano pepper, leftover pork rib meat, and a squirt of lemon juice cooked down to a tasty soup for lunch. (If I do say so myself. FWIW.)
Oh I love how you used the leftover broth. Thanks for sharing.
Pressure cooker is heating! I'm excited, thanks for sharing 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
@@AMindFullMom It turned out awesome!
@@NathanaelNewton Wonderful! Thanks for letting me know :)
I make refried beans old school, I boil salt pork in water for 45 minutes to flavor the water them slow cook them for hours, then mash them by hand, so I am trying this recipe today I did throw in a couple of slices of bacon and saute just for extra kick and fat, so I hope this comes out similar to mine, cause I now have a cheat recipe, its either this or can beans, this recipe looks awesome.
I hope you enjoy this easier recipe!
Great no-fat recipe, thanks! Bag of pinto beans at the $1.25 store, I just dump in a few tablespoons of taco seasoning by McCormick. Buy the huge jar at Costco.
It is so amazing and cheap! Glad you agree!
Thank you for the recipe.. tired of buying refried bean cans that do not taste great like your recipe! Thank you, thank you
You are so welcome!
Making these tomorrow... I will let u know how they turn out!!!🤓
Well?
I always check for little rocks in the beans before I rinse them.
Just made this recipe using pinto beans. Super easy and delicious. I’ve substituted a can of diced green chilies instead of jalapeños since I didn’t have any fresh jalapeños. I wonder if I can also make this recipe with dried black beans too without soaking the beans?
Yes! For black beans, you only need to cook for 40 minutes.
Beans are cooking!!!!!
YAY!!! Enjoy!
Hi Kristen, great recipe, thanks! My only concern is the use of the cooking liquid. The sugars produced when beans are cooking is what is gas producing. Beans should be well rinsed during and after the cooking process to avoid this unfortunate “side effect”.
Feel free to rinse the beans after cooking if you are worried about that. I would then suggest using vegetable broth for blending to add flavor and season again.
What is unfortunate? 😂
@@AMindFullMom Yeah like the other poster said there is nothing unfortunate, Im make this right now as I type this, I look forward to walking around the house saying pull my finger.
Thank you for the video!
A couple suggestions:
1) the pepper seeds do not contain much (if any) capsaicin, thus, they are not the source of heat. If you don’t believe me, try a seed on its own, then try a piece of the flesh. :)
2) I believe you are referring to “cotija” cheese, not “cojito.”
My beans are cooking now. Can’t wait to try them!
Thanks for the tips!
They turned out great. I love the idea of adding the water back to change the consistency. This is my go to recipe now.
@@bizichyld Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Make your own video and share your infinite wisdom there....!
We eat a lot of refried beans at our house. I’m wondering if the beans can be frozen? We also do a lot of meal prep and try to make double recipes and freeze one for later. Regardless I’m going to be trying your recipe.
I LOVE to freeze a batch myself--so yes! Just allow to cool and portion into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
Considering salt interfering with the beans cooking- the broth is salty too. Otherwise, everything else looks solid.
Using unsalted broth mixed with water won't be an issue. I make beans almost weekly :)
Dear Ms. Kristen:
Do you put a pinch of baking power to get rid of the gas from beans? Thank you. I do 😊
I do not, but that is a great tip!
Good retried beans contain Lard!
Feel free to add, I would personally rather pass :)
It is not necessary to cook your beans for 50 minutes. 2 cups beans = 1 lb, cook for 25 minutes. 2 lb cook for 30 minutes. 3 lb cook for 40 minutes. Cook on high pressure. It will take about 40 minutes for 1 lb of beans to depressurize, and a full hour for 3 lb of beans.
For really soft beans for refried beans, I do suggest a much longer cook time than just cooking pinto beans. The results are worth it!
what can you do with all the leftover bean juice
I typically discard, as it is not all that flavorful (no salt added until after cooking process.)
I soak my beans overnight. Should I add less water when cooking?
Thanks
I would reduce the cook time by 10 minutes and only use 4 cups of broth (no water needed)
this is Erick’s wife and I am making this within the next few days
I hope you enjoy!
Nice video. Nice recipe. I appreciate you leaving out the annoying music. But what do so many people seem to think is so special about Kosher salt?
Hey there! So kosher salt actually works to enhance the flavor. Iodized salt (or table salt) has added iodine, which can leave an aftertaste. It also can make things taste salty, rather than truly enhancing the taste :)
Is that regular paprika or smoked paprika?
I use regular, but personally LOVE smoked paprika. It is a bit spicier, so my little one objects.
How many servings is this recipe for?
This makes about 16 servings (1/2 cup each)
@@AMindFullMom omg in the videos it looked too little so I doubled everything and it was way too much for just two people LOL but now I know, thank you, it was delish and my Mexican boyfriend loved it!!
Also is it normal to have a lot of liquid left over? I felt like I wasted a lot of my chicken stock
@@karinapark2299 Yes it is normal. It really didn't waste the broth--it helped to add flavor.
@@karinapark2299 These beans freeze great--so you can be set for awhile ;)
So if you were just usi g water. Would you use 6 cups for 2 cups Frejoles!😶
Yes :)
You did not check for stones?
When I rinsed, I did. Sorry I didn't state that clearly.
Written recipe please

Going to use my beans in a taco lasagna. So happy to not be using refried beans from a yucky can.
The taste will be SO much better! enjoy!
She's got a thick Midwestern accent. Teehee
HA! I am from Northeast Ohio but live in the south now. I don't hear that often
That particular jalapeño, is not very spicy at all.
Full of flavor lol refired beans are normally not as flavorful cause u use them with alot of other flavors
I have had many unseasoned refried beans and really well seasoned beans. These are well seasoned :)
You keep talking about making the food to your families need. I dont have a family. I will make it how i want for myself.
And of course these recipes work for singles 😊 Sorry if talking about families is offensive to you, just giving ideas for those dealing with feeding more than one person.
No you won't Michael Scott.....you will do it exactly how this video says to.....end of discussion.
Typical old people talk much. Could've easily been a 4 min video
I didn't realize 40 was old. Oh well, grateful to be alive!
Not nearly as good as Mexican restaurants
I am sorry you didn't enjoy!
I followed your recipe except I used 1/8t of Jalapeno powder which is hot so I didn't want them to be too hot and wasn't sure how much Jalapeno pwdr. to use if I need more I can add more, so we'll see how it goes after the hour. Thanks!
I hope you enjoy!
