Serves: 6

(Frijoles Refritos Pronto)
Category: Bean Dishes
Convenient canned black beans are used in this recipe to make refried beans when there is no time to start from scratch.


   3 tablespoons corn oil
   1/2 medium onion, chopped
   2 cloves garlic (medium), finely chopped
   1 teaspoon ground cumin
   1 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
   1/8 teaspoon hot crushed red pepper
   1 cup canned ready-cut tomatoes, with the juices
   2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained, but not rinsed


1. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium high heat, and cook the onion and garlic, stirring, until the onion softens, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cumin, oregano, red pepper, tomatoes, and beans. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse 8 to 10 times to make a coarse purée.

2. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the bean mixture and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Turn the heat to low and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes, or until the liquids have reduced and the beans are thick enough to hold a mounded shape on a wooden spoon.
