Notes

Serve your refried beans with your favourite toppings or tortilla chips for dipping
Pinto beans are best, but you can also try making this recipe with black beans for a different flavour and texture.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, add on your fresh toppings and dig in.
Freeze your refried beans for up to 6 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat as normal.
