Food Blog: The Side Dish You'll Make Over & Over Again

Refried Beans (2 Ways)

The first time I tried this refried beans recipe, I thought to myself, "What took me so long?!" After years of cooking with canned refried beans, I've started cooking refried beans from scratch. Let me tell you, I'm never looking back. These homemade refried beans are creamier, brighter, and more complex than any you'd find in a can. I love serving them as a side dish or a dip with tortilla chips, but they're delicious in tacos, taquitos, burritos, quesadillas, and enchiladas, too.
