It is hard to take a good picture of refried beans, since they don’t look delicious on their own. I like making my own for a couple of reasons. First, this recipe makes more than I need for one meal, so I can freeze some for another time (puts me ahead). Second, I can use healthier ingredients, and add the spices that I choose. Feel free to play around with which spices and cheeses you prefer. Add a touch more olive oil while blending if mixture is too dry. Enjoy! <\/p>\n

\"Homemade<\/a><\/p>\n

1 Large onion, chopped
\n4 garlic cloves, minced
\n6 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
\n5 cans (15-oz. each) pinto beans, rinsed
\n and drained
\n1 1\/2 tsp. ground cumin
\n1 tsp. salt
\n1\/2 tsp. ground coriander
\n1\/4 tsp. pepper
\n1\/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce
\n1 C. (4-oz.) shredded Monterey Jack cheese<\/p>\n

In a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons oil. Place 2 tablespoons oil in a blender or food processor; add half of the onion mixture, and half of the beans, cumin, salt, coriander, pepper, hot pepper sauce and cheese. Cover and process until smooth. Repeat with remaining ingredients.<\/p>\n

Place in a skillet and heat through. Leftovers may be frozen for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n
