We loved these refried beans. I had a can of pinto beans, so I used that instead of the kidney beans. I also used minced fresh jalapeno for the chile pepper. We like a little texture in our refried beans, so I used a potato masher instead of the stick blender. They were easy and fast to make, and tasted delicious. It doesn't get much better than that!

Very tasty. Who wants canned refried beans if they can have this instead. I used unrefined extra virgin olive oil and sauted the garlic at a lower temperature or it would have burnt. I used a 19 oz can pink beans because that is what I had on hand and have read they are used in refried beans as well. I just added sea salt and water since I had no vegetable stock on hand and it worked fine, for the chili pepper I used cayenne, to taste, plus the rest of the ingredients. I do recommend this. Made for ZWT7 South and Central America, for my team Food.Commandos

<p>I love, love, love to cook. Most of all I love to cook for friends and family because it is such an awesome feeling to bring the people that mean the most to me through such an essential ingredient for life... FOOD! I am a vegan the switch opened up the world of cooking in a way I never imagined! People constantly ask me 'what do you eat?' and I can confidently tell them that if they were to leave meat and dairy behind they would find an enormous world of food out there that they have never heard of! And it is all more delicious and nourishing than animal products. My ultimate goal is to shake my 9 to 5 office job and become a caterer or open my own restaurant and I am forever dreaming of my big lottery win that will allow me to do this.</p>
