What is the easiest way to make refried beans?

Question

I know hardly anything about cooking. How do you even make refried beans? Who has the easiest recipe?

Answer 1

Cooking pinto beans is so easy first buy a bag of pinto beans spread them over the counter so that u can take all of the nasty beans off then rinse them off , put them in a small pot if u got the smallest bag, add water some salt and a lil bit of oil lets say about a teaspoon put a the lid on it , once it starts boiling turn the stove to med and let them cook till soft make sure u keep adding water , once they're soft taste and if u think they need more salt add more to your liking and let them simmer a lil bit longer , when they're done serve on a bowl chop some tomatoes , onion , cilantro and cheese and add it to the bowl of bean is so good for this type of weather .

Now to refried , just use lil bit of oil on a pan let it get warm and add the beans let the beans get hot is easier to smash them . I like putting bacon or chorizo to mine , I fry the bacon or chorizo first and then I add the beans and smash them all together .

2. Cooking Directions
Combine cumin, coriander, pepper and salt in a medium bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and saute until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan. Add onion and jalapeno and cook until beginning to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes (or salsa) and any accumulated juices from the chicken; cook, stirring often, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the bean mixture to a medium bowl and mash with a potato masher until creamy but still slightly chunky. Stir in cheese. Serve with the chicken.
