I used your recipe a year or so ago..it was GREAT!! when I went to use it again it was gone; I spent hours searching for YOUR recipe nothing else would do. I found it be remembering the story….I know have it saved and printed and in my favorites…wouldn’t want to lose it again!

Ok, talk about a small world. I see Isaac is a Mennonite pastor. My husband was a Mennonite pastor too; now we serve with Mercy Teams International.

Living in Singapore I have to make my own refried beans. How I miss Mexican food! I soak my beans in a crock pot overnight and cook all day on low. Then I’m ready to follow your recipe!

Everything is better from scratch. And most of the time not that much effort. I have an equally easy spanish rice reciepe which I am going to us with the bean. My beans are cooking . I can’t wait. This receipe is also very healthy.

I tried this and it was awsome only difference is I used bacon drippings instead of olive oil.

Thanks for the recipe. I had a vague idea how to make these, so this was the perfect set of instructions.

I used black beans I had already made yesterday. I put them in a blender on slow, as I was in a rush. Then, I fried them as you suggested. Ate them with fresh homemade tortillas and avocado.

Delicious.

As for the “RE-frito” comments, in some parts of Latin American the prefix “RE” can mean “very,” but it also has the same meaning as in the English as “again.” So, REfrito can mean re-fried or very fried, depending on the context.

these beans aren’t just delicious, they have a great story attached. i tried the recipe with butter and then made one with bacon grease.Surprisingly,they both taste the same. The one with bacon grease was a tad saltier. But WOW what a great recipe> Thanx so much

in the pub/restaurant i work in, we add a little bit of hot salsa to the beans before serving – ok, it might be cheating but if anyone’s got a problem with dull tasting beans, this is definitely the easiest way to spice them up and add flavour.

These were DELICIOUS! Followed the recipe up to the frying part! Plenty of leftovers – which is a good thing!
