I found a recipe for instant re-fried beans on the web. I don't have the link, because I just put it in my recipe file of things we liked.
It said to mill/grind beans to make it like flour. We used PINTO beans.
Take the 3 cups of dried beans that you made into flour and add: 1 Tbsp. ground cumin 1 Tbsp. chili powder 1 Tbsp. salt 1 Tbsp. dried minced onion 1 tsp. cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp. Pepper
Mix and store into a tightly sealed container. When you wish to make the beans for either tacos or dipping with corn chips, take 3/4 cup of the mix and add it to 2 1/2 cups of boiling water. Whisk it to mix and then turn the heat lower and cook for about 4-5 min additional time. Whisk occasionally. (It will thicken, but as it cools, it will become much thicker.
For the rest of our meal, we made a dish in the cast iron skillet.
Mexican Potluck 1 pound of precooked ground hamburger 1 can (10 oz) diced seasoned tomatoe (with chillis....Ro-Tel) 1 cup of either instant rice or reg. rice. (when measuring the water for your rice, add the 10 oz. from the can and allow for the water to be cut down)
I then added a can of black beans that had been rinsed and drained.
I covered the pot and cooked it until the rice was soft and the water was obsorbed.
It is spicey, but the fast re-fried beans were great with the casserole.
