Ingredients

  • 2 dehydrated chipotle chiles
  • Boiling water
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped

Directions

In 10-inch cast iron skillet or other heavy skillet, toast chiles over medium-high heat 3 to 4 minutes or until fragrant, turning occasionally. Place in small bowl. Cover chiles with boiling water just to cover. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain; remove stems and seeds from chiles.

Meanwhile, in same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in garlic. Cook 1 minute. In food processor, place 2 cans of the beans, the onion mixture, 1/2 cup water and seeded chiles. Cover; process 1 minute or until smooth. Add remaining can of beans. Cover; process with 4 to 6 on/off pulses to chop.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium heat. Spoon bean mixture into skillet. Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring, turning and scraping bottom of skillet frequently. Remove from heat; top with tomato, onion and cheese.

Serving Suggestions: Serve these flavorful, easy refried beans as a side to your favorite Mexican entrée.

For a great dip, you could thin the mixture with a little water and serve it warm or cold with tortilla chips.

Tips: Epazote is a Mexican herb, usually available in Hispanic markets. It is sometimes added to refried beans. If you can find it and want to try it, add a sprig to the onions as they cook.

If you like a more pronounced smoky flavor, you can substitute bacon grease for all or part of the vegetable oil.
