Categories     Side

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup onion (diced)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 (15 ounces each) cans pinto beans (DO NOT rinse and drain)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (omit if you don't want the heat)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and saute for 4-5 minutes or until onion is translucent.
  • Add garlic to melted butter and onions and saute for another minute.
  • Add pinto beans (don't wash and drain them first - just dump in the whole can), cumin, chili powder and cayenne powder to skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes or until beans are heated through.
  • Using a potato masher, mash beans until they become the consistency that you prefer (my husband likes them completely smooth while I prefer them to be a little chunky. You could also put the beans in a blender to make them super smooth).
  • If desired, top with some shredded cheese and fresh cilantro.

Categories     Lunch

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (16-ounce) can Old El Paso™ refried black beans
1/2 (10-ounce) can Old El Paso™ red enchilada sauce
3 cups freshly grated mozzarella, monterey jack or fontina cheese
1 bag tortilla chips (thick ones work best)
Optional toppings: Guacamole, Pico de gallo, Fresh cilantro, jalepenos, sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce across the bottom of a large skillet. Spread the refried beans on top and add a little salt and pepper if desired. Then sprinkle on a little bit of cheese. I like to use a mix of freshly grated mozzarella and fontina.
  • Next, layer on tortilla chips with another layer of cheese (about 3/4 cup). Repeat, so that you have 3 layers of chips. Top the final layer of chips with the remaining cheese. Drizzle 2 to 3 Tablespoons of the enchilada sauce on top. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and bubbly hot.
  • Top with your favorite toppings, just before serving. My favorites are guacamole and pico de gallo. Serve immediately.
