You can’t beat the simplicity and taste of Homemade Refried Beans, made with just five-ingredients! I love how easy this recipe and knowing my family is getting a healthier version made with real ingredients. It wasn’t until I spent a few months living in Puebla, Mexico that I learned how easy it is to make homemade refried beans (and how significant the taste of truly homemade is versus the canned stuff!). They do require you to soak the beans overnight, but there is very little actual effort required for this recipe. And now I cringe at the thought of canned refried beans!

About the beans:

Dried beans (NO CANS!): The key to authentic refried beans is using dry beans. Canned beans will not result in the same texture or flavor and it’s just not the way Mexican refried beans are made! You can find dry beans in the Mexican food isle at the grocery store. The key to authentic refried beans is using dry beans.

How to Make Refried Beans:

1. Rinse and soak beans. Sift through the dry beans, removing any unwanted pieces from the bag. Add the beans to a large pot, cover with water and soak overnight. 2. Boil beans. Drain beans, add them to a pot and cover them with fresh water. Add onion to the pot and a couple dashes of salt. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for one hour. 3. Fry beans. Heat lard or oil in skillet. Add the garlic and stir. Add the beans, cumin, oregano and ¼ cup of reserved water from the bean broth. 4. Mash. Gently smash the beans with a potato masher or fork as they cook. Continue stirring and mashing until you get the texture you like and the beans are the consistency of soft mashed potatoes. Add more bean broth liquid if necessary. Taste and season with additional salt if needed.

5. Serve. Top with shredded cheese, if desired.

For Instant Pot Refried Beans (No Soaking):

1. Rinse beans. Rinse in a colander, removing any unwanted pieces that may be in the bag. 2. Add to Instant Pot. Add the beans, onion, and salt to the instant pot and fill the pot with about 7-8 cups of water. 3. Pressure cook. Turn valve to sealed and cook on high pressure/manual for 45 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 25 minutes. Remove lid and test beans to make sure they are tender. 4. Sauté beans. Drain the beans, removing the onion and reserving ½ cup of the bean broth water. On SAUTE mode, add lard or oil. Once hot, add the garlic and stir. Add the beans, cumin, oregano and ¼ cup of the bean broth. (You could also chop the reserved onion and add it to the pan). 5. Mash. Cook, gently smashing the beans as they cook with a potato masher or fork. Continue stirring and mashing until you get the texture you like and the beans are the consistency of soft mashed potatoes. Add more bean broth liquid if necessary. Taste and season with additional salt if needed.
