Refried Beans With Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread a little butter on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Heat some butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Off heat, add the tequila, then return to the heat and cook until evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the chili powder, garlic, jalapenos and some salt and pepper and cook for a minute or 2. Add the beans to the skillet and stir to combine everything. Cook until warmed through, about 4 minutes.
• Spread half of the beans in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the Cheddar and pepper Jack cheeses. Spread on the remaining beans and top with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and just beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium low heat and add half the oil; saute onions until softened, but not browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add chile and garlic; stir about 1 minute.
• Add refried beans and water; stir and chop to fully combine, then turn off heat.
• Heat tortillas, one at a time, over medium low heat just to soften, about 15 seconds per side.
• Spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of beans and 2 heaping tablespoons cheese; fold by bringing the side closest to you about halfway up.
• Fold in the sides, then continue rolling; flatten slightly with your hand.
• Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium low heat; brown chimichangas, in batches, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Serve with pico de gallo, sour cream, and shredded cheese, or whatever you choose.

Steps:

• Cover beans with 4 inches of water and soak for at least 12 hours, or overnight.
• Place the pot with beans and water on the stove and heat to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until much of the water has been absorbed and beans are soft enough to mash, about 2 hours.
• Crush the beans thoroughly with a potato masher. Simmer for 1 hour more.
• Take an immersion blender to the pot and pulverize the beans until there are no visible solids left. If any water remains, simmer until it evaporates and beans are reduced to a thick paste.
• Add milk, lard, garlic powder, salt, chile pepper, cumin, and cayenne and stir to combine. Cook for 10 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Transfer beans to a casserole dish and sprinkle with Oaxaca cheese. Cover with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes, removing foil at the 15-minute mark. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the oil and saute the serrano chili rounds about 20 seconds.
• Add the refried beans and stir with a wooden spoon until the beans are hot and form a paste.
• Add the cheese and stir slowly until just melted, but still visible as swirls of cheese.
• Turn out onto a round serving plate and form into a fat pancake.
• Serve at once with tortilla chips for dipping.

Steps:

• Rinse the beans thoroughly, then place them in a large pot with the bacon. Pour water over the top. Use enough water to cover the beans by 1 or 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 2 to 3 hours. If the liquid seems to evaporate too quickly, add more water during the cooking process. The beans are done when they're fork tender, without much bite.
• Add the chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir and taste, adjusting the seasoning as necessary. Add in other seasonings as desired.
• Heat the fat in a large skillet and cook the onions until translucent. Add the beans to the skillet and mash them until they're the consistency you want. Stir and cook them until heated, then add the grated cheese. Top with the jalapenos.

Steps:

• Heat a medium saute pan on medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden in color, about 6 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a drain on a plate lined with some paper towels. Add the onions to the pan with the chorizo fat. Saute until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Return the chorizo to the pan. Add the refried beans to the mixture. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes. Turn the heat off and reserve for tostadas and burritos.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spread each chip with a thin layer of refried beans and place onto a foil lined baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese over chips and bake in oven for 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove chips from oven and top each one with 1 or 2 teaspoons of salsa and a dab of sour cream. Bake for 3 more minutes. Top each chip with a jalapeno slice. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and chili powder and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the beans and chicken broth and cook until the beans are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Mash the beans coarsely with the back of a wooden spoon, adding more chicken broth to moisten, if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the cilantro.

• Soak overnight, or bring to a boil, cook for 3 minutes, then cover and remove from heat, allowing to sit undisturbed for 1 hour.
• Drain and rinse beans, and cover with 6 cups water.
• Bring to a boil, then cover, and simmer for 1- 1 1/2 hours or until tender and creamy.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and garlic for 2 mins. Add the cumin and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the beans, paprika and a splash of water. Using a potato masher, break the beans down as they warm through to make a rough purée. Season generously.
• Spread the refried beans onto 4 of the tortillas and scatter over the cheese and coriander. Spoon over the salsa, then top with the remaining tortillas to make 4 sandwiches. Wipe the frying pan with kitchen paper and return to the heat or heat a griddle pan. Cook each sandwich for 1-2 mins on each side until the tortillas are crisp and golden and the cheese is melting. Serve warm, cut into wedges, with extra salsa and soured cream for dipping.

Steps:

• Melt lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and salt; cook until onions start to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in serrano pepper and chipotle powder; cook 1 minute. Transfer drained beans into skillet. Mash about half the beans with a potato masher or back of a spoon. Ladle some bean cooking liquid to skillet. Continue to mash and stir beans as you gradually add more liquid. Mash until the beans have reached your preferred consistency and texture. Taste and add more salt, if desired.
