Skillet Refried Beans With Avocado And Radish Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the coconut oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook until the spices are toasted and the garlic has softened, 1 minute. Add the pinto beans, chicken stock and chipotle puree and bring to a boil. Cook until the stock has reduced by about half and the mixture has thickened, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Off the heat, mash the beans to a smooth paste with a potato masher, leaving some beans partially mashed to add some texture. The beans should have the consistency of a thick sauce; if they're difficult to stir, they're too thick. If needed, thin the beans out with extra chicken stock, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Finish by stirring in the lime juice and adding salt to taste. Garnish with queso fresco and cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium-high. Combine the beans, 1/2 cup water and ground cayenne in the skillet and whisk until smooth. Reduce heat to low and cook until warmed through and just starting to bubble. Sprinkle the Oaxacan-style cheese on top and warm until melted, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the tortillas one-by-one over an open flame (or in a hot skillet, if you don't have a gas stove). Wrap them tightly in a clean kitchen towel, stacking and rewrapping as you go to keep them warm as you heat each one.
• Remove the beans from the heat and garnish with the avocado, radish, scallions and snap peas in even layers. Sprinkle with grated Cotija and cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas and lime wedges for squeezing over the tacos.

Steps:

• Drain soaked beans and transfer them to a stock pot. Add garlic, epazote, and cold water. Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Stir. Reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered until beans are soft, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Drain the beans and reserve all the liquid.
• Melt lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and salt; cook until onions start to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in serrano pepper and chipotle powder; cook 1 minute. Transfer drained beans into skillet. Mash about half the beans with a potato masher or back of a spoon. Ladle some bean cooking liquid to skillet. Continue to mash and stir beans as you gradually add more liquid. Mash until the beans have reached your preferred consistency and texture. Taste and add more salt, if desired.
