Instant Refried Bean Mix

Recipe submitted by April R.

1 ½ cup pinto or black bean flour
1 ½ tsp. chili powder
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. instant minced onion

Mix together and store in airtight container.

To prepare:
Bring 2 ½ c. water to a boil. Whisk ¾ c. mixture into boiling water. Cook while stirring over medium heat for 1 minute until mixture thickens. Don’t worry about lump—they taste great too! Reduce heat to low, cover pan and cook 4 minutes. Add salsa. Mixture thickens as it cools.

We use this when making burritos or for layered bean dip or for any time when a recipe calls for refried beans. It’s great to have on hand.
