Seasoning – I used a simple combination of chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Beans – I used canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained. Lime Juice – I prefer using freshly squeezed! Use what you have on hand.
How To Make Refried Beans
Tips
Storing
Transfer any leftover refried beans to an airtight container or sealable bag. The will last for up to 5 days in the fridge.
Freezing
Allow your refried beans to fully cool before freezing. I would recommend separating the beans into portions for easy defrosting. Place in an airtight container or freezer bags for up to 8 months.
