- Instant Pot Refried Beans! (The #1 reason to buy an Instant Pot)
I LOVE refried beans. But storebought ones are a little pricey, and they come in such small cans. My Instant Pot Refried Beans method is so easy and you end up with a decent-sized batch. The recipe for Instant Pot Refried Beans is simple:
2 cups pinto beans
4 cups water
1 tsp oil
1 onion
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground cumin
Cook on high pressure for 1hr and 10 minutes and allow the pressure to release slowly.
Enjoy your refried beans all week long from the fridge, or freeze them for your future bean needs. Put them in tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or spread onto a cheesy beany melty sandwich.
I hope you found this video helpful!
Thanks for watching!
I'm Paula. I'm a former professional cook and overall eating enthusiast.
I started this channel because I love making dinner and I love eating dinner.. but mostly it's because all I've ever wanted in life is to have my own cooking show. When I didn't get a callback after submitting my tape to Food Network in 2003, I put that dream to rest for a while. Until I clued in, I can do it myself on RUclips!
I love sharing the tips I've learned from professional kitchens and tidbits from my holistic nutrition education. But mostly I just want to show you how to make dinner. (See what I did there?) 😄
My cooking style is simple but flavourful. I cook with a lot of veggies but I'm not vegetarian. For me, a typical dinner is plant-forward, budget-friendly, non-fussy, and really delicious. As a step-mom, I make a lot of family-friendly comfort food, as well as a lot of simple, indulgent dinners for one (or two).

Hey friends! I hope you like this little shortie! Nothing beats a fridge full of beans right?
Only you, Love Muffin. 😉
I have made these so many times now!! I usually quadruple the recipe and then divide it up and freeze it in yogurt containers. These are the best refried beans I have ever eaten and they are super easy!! Thank you!! 🙏🏻
You are one of my favorite food youtubers. Someday you are gonna absolutely pop off on this platform--your camera presence is one of the absolute best.
Aw that’s so nice of you to say! I’m certainly not sharing any “go-viral” content but I’m so glad you like it! It’s a fun journey :)
I agree!!!
Me too!
Just made the beans and they turned out great in my instant pot!!! I dislike the taste of can beans and I loved how simple yet tasty it is!! Thank you!
I’m vegetarian so this was a great non-lard recipe!
Good healthy recipe with no lard. Beans, beans, they are good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you _____?
😵💫💨
I wish I found your recipe first, it looks so easy compared to the one I just did 😅
This is my go too recipe- made it several times. Comes out perfect. Thank you!
the beans are actually supposed to be very well fried in lard as you add back your liquid slowly and mash them with your bean masher. They're only about $1 at the discount dollar store. All the extra spices aren't really needed either if you want authentic Mexican refried beans. Just the bean liquid and a couple cloves of garlic and no salt before you cook them. Cook them then mash and add salt after you get your desired consistency but don't cover up the flavor of the beans. Gotta be lard they're fried in too for that authentic flavor. Try it. You might like it!
I love a good authentic bean and I think the lard is definitely a key player in those! There used to be a hole in the wall in my city where the beans were so good, I’d order them on their own and just dive in with a spoon! Next time I have some lard handy (which isn’t often) I’ll give them a go! ☀️
There's definitely a part of me that always wants to do things the authentic way, but then I met English people who use jello and powdered custard mix in their trifle, Japanese people who use a packet of flavouring on their home made sushi rice etc and decided that it is okay for me to take shortcuts, too. I promise to never open an "authentic" Mexican restaurant and use this method! LOL! Also, my mother would have a cow if she saw me eating salad out of a bag...🤣
Cool Doug... How long have you been a part of the refried bean police department? 😂
@@KayeVaughn801 as someone that was married to a mexican woman that COULD cook and traveling all over mexico.. the beans he described sounded soooooo boring. You definitely need seasonings in your refried beans smh white peepo
I love refried beans, they are so versatile!
Same! I considered spreading some on one of my pizzas 😃

A good way to add a lot of flavor is to use dried chilis, if you can find them near you. For like 2 cups of dried beans, I use 2 ancho chilis, 3 guajillo chilis, and 1 new mexico chili... For 1 cup of dried beans I would probably drop it to 1 ancho, 2 guajillos, and 1 new mexico.... --but the easiest way to use them for the method you used is to just stem them and seed them and throw them in the instant pot. They'll soften in there and flavor the bean liquor. Then, because you are using an immersion blender, you just blend them right in (crumbling and tearing them up as you put them in will help them blend).
I don't own an immersion blender yet, so I just do it in a normal blender, beforehand. I soften them in a pot of boiling water (after stemming and seeding), then put them in a blender, add some garlic and onion, then some of the liquid that they steeped in and count it as some of the liquid that I was going to add to the instant pot for the beans, because it has the cup measurements on the side.... blend it up until smooth and then add it to the instant pot over the beans and put the rest of the liquid in as beef stock or whatever... even just normal water works, but I like using some sort of stock or broth for more flavor... and just cook it the same way ^~^
If you want them less spicy, take out the new mexico chili (it's the only kinda spicy one; the others have more fruity, floral and smoky flavors....). If you want them more spicy, you can add like one or two chipotles in adobo sauce (comes in a small can). Anchos are just smoked poblanos and chipotles are just smoked jalapenos, to give an idea of how spicy they are. Guajillos aren't very spicy at all... They're the fruity, floral ones... I wanna try out these ones that are kinda broad and round, called cascabella, I think... They're supposed to have more smokey notes, I think? The died chili aisle is fun, because you can experiment with them on beans first and see how they taste and work with other things, and they all seem to go great with beans.... It's just the same process... Stem them, seed them, hehydrate them, and blend them up.... Then you can build all kinds of different flavor profiles, because they all have their own unique flavors to play around with to find what you like ^~^
Thank you for this deep dive! I agree. I love dried chilies and I wish they were more readily available where I live! You would probably enjoy watching Rick Martinez’ show with Food52. TONS of blender action and tons of dried chilies! We watch it every Saturday morning :)
I literally made these right after you posted it. I used mayocoba beans and they came out Amazing! Thank you for the inspiration 😊👍
Looking up mayocoba beans now! 👀
I'm just about to make some quesadillas so of course I had to dig out a can of these beans from my pantry when this came up, but next time I am making yours
Well I salute you for having beans on hand when you needed them!
That sounds so much easier than some of the other recipes I’ve seen where they cook the beans all day on the stove and add a little bit of water to it at a time… too much work. I will be sure to give these a try! (when you first showed them, before you mashed them up and they got thicker, I thought they looked so good I would’ve just eaten them like that😄)
I agree! The stovetop method is cute, but this is better :)
Perfect option, love the less oil used. I don't use my "instapot" mine is a fagor and I love it, but so underuse it....
Looks like dinner will be in about an hour and 10 minutes from now. We're having tacos and I need refried beans!
Yes, I did have an onion hiding in the cupboard (shhhhh!) that went in the old IP. No cumin so I subbed coriander. Smells fantastic!
Yay! Glad to supply the last minute dinner ideas! Xoxo
@@HowToMakeDinner Really nice! I might add some celery next time?
Those look really good, I made some beans in the instant pot but added way too much water, it tasted good but was more like bean soup lol
I just made these and they taste amazing! I did stir in in a couple little spoonfuls of bacon fat after it was cooked but the beans were perfect and Soft and I thank you so much for this recipe! ❤️❤️
Lovely! A little bacon fat sounds delish :)
Thank you.
Thank you
You don't need onion powder. You already put an onion in. Put more onion if you like. I'm glad to see that you didn't strain the liquid out and throw any of it away. A little (very little) oregano is good .
You don’t put lard in them? My friend does and says you need a lot more salt than you think. What is your thought?
If I had lard I’d probably use it!! And yeah, beans do seem to love salt. I don’t disagree with your friend!
@@HowToMakeDinner and I have no idea where I would even buy lard to use.
@@roberts9565 if you have a good butcher shop where you live they will probably have some! But yep, not an everyday grocery staple these days 😅
How long will the beans last in the fridge and can they be frozen?
I keep them for up to 4 days in the fridge and YES they are awesome to freeze.
What's the name of the background music
looks great! can I use a regular pot tho?
Sure! It'll just take longer... and you'll want to use a lot more water because it evaporates a lot more!
@@HowToMakeDinner good to know thank you!
Did you use canned beans or dry pinto beans? I have dry pinto beans & need to know how to cook them. Thanks.
Dried beans!

Refried beans are pinto beans always. . .if it is a different bean it should be called by name
black beans are also refried🤣 her using kidney beans made me chuckle though
