How Do I Make Refried Beans Hummus?

  1. Add all ingredients into a large bowl, and mix until the dip is creamy and  well-combined.
  2. If it’s too thick, you can add olive oil a teaspoon at a time until it reaches desired consistency.
  3. Place hummus into a bowl or plate, top with more chili flakes, fresh chopped cilantro, and green onions to garnish. Dip away!

Just a note: this is 100% not any type of authentic recipe at all – it’s not Mexican, not Mediterranean, and not Middle Eastern – it’s just a bit of a mashup. I ended up making this recipes based on ingredients I had on hand. And it turned out so good, I wanted to share in case anyone had some refried beans lying around and wanted to try something new.

Make Refried Beans at Home

While I love the convenience of canned beans, I also love cooking dry beans from scratch in my Instant Pot to make my delicious Instant Pot Refried Beans.  I use the 8-Quart Instant Pot Ultra, which is larger than standard models (which are only 6 quart) so I have extra room to meal prep and batch cook more meals for the week. The Instant Pot works wonders for cooking dried beans fast, no soaking required! While canned beans are super convenient, they are often loaded with sodium. 

If you buy canned beans, I always recommend using a no salt added variety so you can control the amount of salt in your dish. Next time you reach for the canned beans, think about making some in the Instant Pot instead. Homemade beans are incredibly cost efficient, and you can add seasonings and spices to the beans while they cook for extra flavor.

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add the refried beans, garlic, tahini, smoked paprika, lime juice, chili flakes and black pepper. Mix well with a wooden spoon until the hummus is a smooth consistency. If it's too thick, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil at a time, until it reaches the consistency you prefer.

Notes

If you don’t want to use refried beans from a can, you can use pinto beans (drain and mash before adding) or make my delicious Instant Pot refried beans which are ready in 45 minutes and lower in sodium.
