I found the flavour a bit lacking and added more (double) cumin as well as a tsp of garlic. Surprisingly easy to make your own refried beans, which is a bonus. Made for ZWT - Zingo.

Easy to make refried beans. I used them in a Mexican layered dip with good results. I like that this takes a random can of black beans from the pantry & turns it into a flavorful dish. I did drain & rinse the beans. Thank you for sharing the recipe! :-)

Delicious! I love cumin so used a heaping 1/4 tsp. I rinsed the black beans first; I used just a bit more than 1/4 cup of water and it was just the consistency I wanted. I put some on a piece of flatbread, topped with lowfat cheese, and baked for a yummy Mexican pizza. The rest will be a spread for crackers later. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
