Refried Black Beans with Crispy Garlic Chips

Step 3: Simmer the beans

  • The aromatics

    • epazote
      1 stalk

    • mashed beans

  • The beans

    • chicken broth
      as needed

While continuing to mash the beams, pour in small amounts of chicken broth until they are broken down and the mixture has reached your desired consistency.

Add the epazote stalk and the mixture for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors and slightly the refried beans.

At the end of the 10 minutes, assess the texture of the beans. If you want them looser, turn off the heat and mix in a bit more broth. If you want them tighter, feel free to reduce a few minutes longer.

  • Keep in mind the beans will tighten up more as they cool down.
