Jill’s Crockpot Mexican "refried" Beans

January 28, 2023

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
Vegetables, Grains	Mexican	Vegetable	8	Servings

INGREDIENTS

1	lb	Dried pinto beans
1/2	lb	Dried black beans
3		up to
4		Yellow onions, cut into
		1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2	t	Ground cumin
1	t	Ground cinnamon
1/2	t	Cracked or ground black
		pepper
1/4	t	Ground hot cayenne pepper
1		Jar, 12-16 oz salsa
		hotness according to your
		preference
1		6-8 oz tomato sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

Instead of soaking the beans to break down the carbohydrates that  make
the eater socially unacceptable, simmer the beans in 1-2 quarts  of
water for 30 minutes (either in your crock pot on 'high' or in  another
pot on the stove), then drain the water & rinse the beans.  The beans
should have expanded and softened slightly  Add to the beans the onion,
cumin, cinnamon, black pepper and cayenne  pepper.  I like to add a jar
of salsa and a can of tomato sauce.  Add a little water if needed
(beans should be sloppy but not soupy at  this stage), and cook
overnight on "auto-shift" setting or on "low"  if your pot doesn't have
"auto-shift"  The beans are generally done enough to eat in 3-4 hours,
but they can  be cooked as long as 12 hours with no harm to them.  Of
course, they  will taste better if given time to flavor through.  If
you want to give your beans a "refried beans" texture and  appearance,
forget about the bacon grease and frying pan -- just get  your hands
into it & squish them up! (Don't use a food processor.)  These are
great in burritos -- I like to scramble some eggs with green  peppers,
mushrooms and onions, then serve the beans and eggs together  as
"huevos rancheros."  They also work well served with tortilla  chips
for scooping, with melted cheese (monterray jack or  cheddar),lettuce,
tomato and sour cream layered over the beans. 8-10  servings. Leftovers
freeze well.  JMNI@MIDWAY.UCHICAGO.EDU  (JILL M. NICOLAUS)
