Notes

Tips and Tricks:

  1. Add vegetable stock if the refried beans get too thick.
  2. If it’s too saucy, just keep simmering for a few minutes longer.
  3. If you would like a very smooth final product - use an immersion blender.
  4. Draining the beans: We always buy canned beans in brine. The ingredients are beans, water and salt. Check the label.
