Bean dip recipe?

zxcvbob said:

Does anyone have a recipe for jalapeno bean dip, like the stuff Fritos
makes? (or used to make, I haven't had it in a long time)

All the recipes I find are for "layered dip". I don't want that.

I can probably fake it using pinto beans in a hummus recipe, but it
might not be pretty...

Get a can of *good* refried beans, like Ortega or Taco Bell, mix
in fresh or pickled chopped jalapenos and salt.

I make my own refried beans, but since I don't follow a strict
recipe, they turn out differently every time. It would go
something like:

Rehydrate dried beans. Simmer beans. Drain beans reserving some
liquid. Add chopped onions, garlic, salt, pepper. Simmer. Add
lard. Emaciate with a stick blender. Add more fresh or pickled
jalapeno.

Jeez, it's not pretty anyway!
¿Why not just thin out some refritos and stir in some pureed jalapeños?

My stick blender makes refried beans too liquified. I prefer them
mashed.

Oh no. Taco Bell are the worst refried beans around. They taste nasty.
Old El Paso would be better.
Actually, I make my own refried beans because they all have a bit of an
aftertaste.

Just seeing if you folks were paying attention <cough>.
How about: Decimate. I keep part of it chunky rather than
pulperizing all of it.

Decimate? ?Que? Did you mean macerate?

Pulperize? ?Que? This is too funny. Do it some more.

Add lard to a pan and plop in the beans. That way they fry slightly as
the lard is absorbed. Lard is easily acquired. Just use bacon grease
to fry potatoes in a few times. The smoky, bacony flavor gets absorbed
by the potatoes (which makes the potatoes yummier), and you're left
with lard. Leave out the pickled jalapenos. Ideally, simmer whole
chiles in the beans for a few hours.

I'll second that. They are the worst refried beans I've ever tasted

I eat too much canned ones. I don't know how to justify my laziness.
I guess it's that I do like some of the canned ones. My favorites were
the Shop'n Save store brand fat free (Supervalu), but the quit making
those, and now have this brand named Carlita that's nowhere near as
good.

I've never cared for refried beans, but then again, I've never made my own.
What do you do, just cook pinto beans down to the desired consistency?

Personally, I think black beans have a much better flavor.

Rusty already posted a very good recipe, but I'll add a slightly
different take.

I can of refried beans or mashed beans of choice
I like Rosarita, but the local stores stopped carrying it.
3/4 cup (more or less to taste) of chopped jalepenos
1 or 2 spring onions, chopped
juice from half a lime
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 half cup of grated cheese
1 quarter cup of fresh cilantro, chopped

heat beans in microwave until soft enough to stir
stir in everything else except cilantro
heat until bubbly
stir in cilantro

serve with tortilla chips

Adding garlic helps, and the recipe is simplified by adding salsa
instead of chopped onions and peppers.

Yes, but add salt to taste then water them down a bit more again, and
fry them in lard or extra light olive oil. Make a bunch and
refrigerate the leftovers. Each time you get them out, redilute and
cook down the whole bunch again. The idea is that each time you
"refry" them, they get better.

You can do the same with black beans, but they are a [censored] to squash by
hand, so for them I always use a blender. You can also mix the two. I
go for 4 or 5 times as many pintos as black beans, but that's just me.
I also like to cook them down slowly for several hours with whole
chiles, usually jalapeños.

The already mentioned Taco Bell canned beans mixes pintos with pink
beans, giving them their off flavor (I dislike pink beans).

====================================================

I've never had refried black beans before. I didn't know such a thing
existed, but I'm going to have to try it! Thanks for your help.

Using the same technique with great northern or white beans is nice to
have on hand, great for making soup or adding to sauce. Freeze the
pureed beans without any additions and add what you need as necessary,
garlic, butter, shallots, sage, oregano, blue cheese, white wine etc.

You cook the beans until they're soft, then you mash them and cook
them again. Some people use lard at this stage. I either do them
without any fat, or with oil/butter.
