This recipe is my husband’s creation. Like I have said before, he is more the fan of tex-mex food than I am. I mean, I like it as long as it is not too spicy. He loves to load on the hot sauce. 
Most canned re fried beans have that gross metallic aftertaste as only canned products do. This homemade version is far tastier and better for you!
In addition to this yummy recipe, he also created a homemade fajita seasoning. If you didn’t know (I didn’t until recently), most store bought spice mixes contain MSG. Yuck! It is pretty easy (and much cheaper), to make your own. If you are interested in his other recipes, click here and here. This would go great with my Homemade Tortilla Chips!
Homemade Re Fried Beans
2 cups hydrated pinto beans
1/4 cup yellow onions rough chopped
2 tsp fajita seasoning
1/2 cup water
1 T oil of choice, I used walnut oil
Homemade Fajita Seasoning
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp oregano
In a pan, saute the onion with the oil for about five minutes or until nice and soft. Add the beans and the seasoning into pan and saute for another five or so. Remove from heat, and put contents in the food processor. Add water and blend until smooth. That’s it.
This recipe was SO good!!!
Yay! So glad you liked it.
What are hydrated beans? (Sorry if this is a silly question). Love your posts!
My husband wrote that post. What he meant to say is that we used dried beans and soaked them in water to hydrate them over night. You can use canned bean as well though. No questions are silly.
What do you mean by hydrated pinto beans? Can I replace this with black beans?
oops you already answered my first question…sorry I should’ve read all the comments!
You could probably do black beans. Please report the results if you do.
so the beans are just soaked overnight and not cooked further? thanks for all of your recipes..and providing great alternatives to not-so-safe products!
We soaked the beans overnight and boiled them for about 20 minutes in the morning until they were soft.
What do you serve it with? Do you have a vegetarian fajita recipe that does not use soy?
I don’t. We just use it as a dip with our baked tortilla chips, or wrap it up with rice in a tortilla wrap.
I just purchased my first jar of coconut oil. Do you think I could use that for the oil? Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes!
You can try, but it may effect the taste slightly.
Im not a huge fan of tex-mex food either, but my family is so I am excited to make this for them! Even I will eat these beans, which I normally do not!
These are so good! We spread them out on some Food for Life sprouted corn tortillas and make a cashew cheese sauce. So yummy! I hope you like them!
