Refried Beans from Canned Pinto Beans

Kelly Jensen
Refried Beans from Canned Pinto Beans recipe is a flavorful and easy side dish with pantry staple canned beans, a few simple vegetables, and a lot of spice. These bold and flavorful beans can be made on the stove top in about 20 minutes. These canned beans make a great side dish or you can add them to tacos or burrito bowls.  I like to serve them alongside fajita veggies, cilantro lime rice in the rice cooker, and with my easy guacamole without cilantro.
