How to make mexican beans

[Anonymous No.19044945]

I'm trying to impress a mexican woman I work with by eating a can of refried beans everyday for lunch. I want to make my own so I dont have to buy the cans. Do the home made varieties taste the same or better as canned? any tips on how to preserve the beans?

This board gets three posts a day asking how to cook rice bro

OP it's canned pinto beans cooked with water, salt, and lard, with some mashed up
If you want to get fancy add powdered cumin and powdered Mexican oregano, and no, regular oregano is not a substitute

[Anonymous No.19044997]

I've been fucking around with refried beans for the past few weeks and while I can't promise how authentic this is it's been insanely tasty

make a big pot of pintos boiled with whole onion, quartered, and mexican oregano.
Once those are done separate beans and liquid reserving both
Then heat up lard or bacon fat in a pot til close to smoking
Pour in beans and mash with whatever mashing tool you have while adding the separate bean broth to get the consistency you want
I've made it like your pic and a little lumpier with some whole beans still visible

as for preserving idk
what I've made so far has been good for 2 weeks in the fridge, but you can freeze in batches if you're worried about it

Buy a can of refried beans and add salsa to taste, add shredded cheese when it's almost done to where it melts, then when it's done add a spoonfull of sour cream or Mexican creama if you can find it.
Wala restaurant quality beans in less than 10 minutes

[Serious pinto flavor No.19045058]

If you're going for the full length beginning to end refried bean flavor. The essential step is to get dry beans and flavor the water when you cook them.
Presoak them first
Then drain, and boil with cold water , add a 1/2 carrot, 1/2 onion, 1/2 garlic, and a bayleaf and add roughly a table spoon of salt per lb.

Cook until tender. Use a cheese cloth to store the flavoring ingredients. And make easier to pull them out when beans cooked

Once beans are tender. Drain.

Separate pot add roughly 6 tablespoons of fat (lard/olive oil etc.), and cook 1/2 onion and garlic in oil until tender. Then add roughly 1lb to 1.5 lbs of beans and bring heat up. Then mash the fuckers until it gets creamy. Salt to taste, add that Mexican cheese for color.

Mi abuela used to make me the best refied beans I’ve ever had. Seriously no others can compare. After she died I was able to get her recipe through some of her books. It’s goes
1 bag of pinto beans (soak overnight for 12 hrs to release the chemical causing gas)
After that boil in a large pot with 3 whole onions chopped and 7 garlic cloves
Add 1 bay leaf and her secret was to add a few dashes of vanilla extract
When they’re done boiling take to a hot pan and add avocado oil and mash your beans till they’re restaurant consistency
Add 2 tablespoons of salt and a pinch of pepper
Boom. The most amazing and simple beans fucking ever, you’re welcome anon have fun getting laid!

That’s why you soak your beans overnight (12hrs but I usually soak them for 14 just to be safe) it releases to chemicals that causes braps

Scratch made Frijoles aren't worth the effort imo - if you insist, ive found using animal tallow/lard makes for the best end product. I also like to put deeply roasted/fried poblano peppers in mine.

Instead, make her a decent steak OP, then feed her a tube steak after. *chefs kiss*

just made some refried beans, i only had small red beans but they came out great.

3 cups of dried small red beans/9 cups water, cook 30min in a instapot, natural release
strain them but save the liquid
finely mince half of a onion, 3 jalapeno peppers and 3 cloves garlic and saute in lard
now add in 3 tbsp more lard and spices
2 packs sazon
1 Tbsp chipotle chili powder
2 tsp cumin (or more)
1 tsp salt
then add beans back in and start mashing, thin with the bean liquid to slightly thinner the you think you need

i normally add additional 4 Tbsp of butter to make them creamier

>>19044997
normally you only add the onion in before boiling when you're making something like Spanish black beans where the beans will remain in the water they were boiled in
refried you tend to dump most of that water out so its kinda a waste

You don’t need to preserve cooked beans, they stay good for 8 months in the fridge. The bigger issue is that she’s going to think you have a fart fetish. Which is fine if you’re both into it, but you should probably just ask her outright to save time. It’s totally normal, just whisper in her ear one day like “psst, I want you to fart in my mouth.”

Literally throw beans in a pan or pot with bacon grease.

THAT'S FUCKING IT.
Everything else is just seasoning to taste. You like onion? Fucking good, throw some in too. Garlic? Okay, put some in. Pepper? Sure. But its not REQUIRED.
Bacon grease will already season the beans to what qualifies as "refried beans", you just cook it down until they disintegrate. If they start to burn, pour a little water in to deglaze.

I really don't think "Turn on the stove" needs to be stated in directions for "cooking" something, but....

No anon. Turn on the stove. Throwing them into fresh grease is good, but you're just cooking them until they disintegrate.
The heat really doesn't matter so long as you're not burning them (refer to "add water to deglaze if burning occurs"), and stirring constantly.
You can cook them on low so you can walk away and watch tv, you can cook them on medium and stand there and stir, or you can be a madlad and turn it up to high if you feel like CONSTANTLY stirring and pouring in water alot to avoid burning.
But its literally just "Cook the beans until they disintegrate into mush in pork fat".

No. They WILL change it, but they won't "Have to" change it.
Grocery inflation is primarily just price gouging because corporations realized they could get away with it (Feel free to "go without" food!) and there's not a whole lot of legal pushback available.

[Anonymous No.19045735]

>>19045718
They're not colluding, but when they see another competitor raise the price they go "Shit yeah, lets raise it too" since they figure the profit jump from charging more to match their competitors is worth waaaay more than a small possible increase of market share by trying to use the opportunity to undercut.

There's a reason all the food companies profits have jumped through the roof when, if the price hikes were to counter cost increases, the price jumps would just cover the things, not be swelling their profits fabulously.

This is what I do, but instead of mashing them I just let cook on their own and watch tv or something while the stoves on high. Beans take a very long time to mix and combine flavors to the oil so crank the stove up and walk away for like 10 mins

[Anonymous No.19045785]

>>19045762
Also! Personally I add a little bean water to the hot oil before I walk away and watch tv, this way it’s like adding pasta water to the pasta yk. It’s the little things that adds flavor

Beans by them selfs don’t really have a taste. For 1 small bag of beans I make I put in 4 tablespoons of salt sometimes five to really bring out the flavor

>>19045907
>4 tablespoons of salt
Woah...
I make a large pot of pintos from dry at least twice a month--2# bag.
That's twice as much salt as I'd normally use--True, It's a matter of taste, but the last time I oversalted my beans, I ended up throwing 1/2 of them out. Too salty, and there was no saving them.
That said, I've tried tallow, duck fat, butter and coconut oil in my Refried beans--in addition to lard batches.
ALL of them were good.

Smoke bacon grease is pretty good with pinto. Plus If you cook with it has a low heat rate so you can leave the stove on high while you go sit down and watch tv or something while it cooks
