I made this today monitoring the beans carefully for fear of burning them. The caramelized onion puree adds a lot of flavor & the light olive oil made it so much more healthy. I used 1/2 cup. I am freezing what we do not consume tonight in our taco salads. I can't fathom ever buying refried beans in a can again. What a difference! Thanks for sharing!
Tried this recipe out today, & overall mostly very pleased with the results. I used avocado oil, which was all I had on hand, but that worked perfectly. My only quibble were the onions - I had only red onions instead of the sweet ones I normally use, & the final product seemed just a little ... onion heavy. Fortunately I love onions, & the beans still turned out very tasty, with the perfect texture I was looking for. Next time however, I will definitely go with the sweet onions instead. Thanks for the recipe, Robin!
Rockin Robin you are amazing I made your refried beans (the older version) and you are the only one who doesn't plop them into splattering oil I followed your methods and advice and they came out amazing on my first try! I do want to try this one also with the carmelized onions though. I heard you say your Dad tried to make the recipes a little healthier by not using lard etc. and bless his heart, and yours for this. Hope you are staying well during these uncertain times.
I'm making these again today, but in addition to frying onions, I'm going to fry two Jalapeno's and add a little fresh garlic to the puree process. I'm sure it will be amazing!
I like the idea of pureeing the onions and I’ll try that next time... but thats a lot of oil! I like to put a couple tbsp of oil in a saute pan and add the cooked beans and seasonings. They are so 😋 yummy. Thanks for your videos Robin, I always enjoy them!
Hi Susan, you can certainly cut back on the amount of oil. I personally wouldn't go less than 1/2 cup. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! Have a great day!
Hi Robin!! I LOVE your channel and your recipes! Next week I'm making the cheese enchiladas with the homemade enchilada sauce! These beans look absolutely amazing, too. I adore Mexican food. How fun for you that you were able to work with your family in your restaurant. I'm sure it was very hard to do, but when you can find a great Mexican restaurant that does Mexican right, you've got a winner. Now I need to find your absolutely best salsa recipe! Take care, my friend. :)
I've made these delicious beans 4 times now. Never thought I'd say refried beans don't need cheese. I always cut the oil way back and today I added some chorizo for a yummy change.
your so knowledgeable with your cooking! You muddy be THE perfect partner🍷💘! I tried your breakfast muffins recipe, and they turned out AMAZING! YOU ROCK Robin🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hi Swede, thank you for the testimonial. Glad you are enjoying the old recipe. It is tasty as you confirm. I am always looking to improve things so I experiment! Since you are familiar with the old recipe, you can use the part where you fry corn or flour tortillas in the oil in addition to caramelizing the onion too. Your oil will be well flavored! I do that sometimes as well. Let me know what you think about this recipe compared to the old one. Thanks for watching!
I made this some time back. I love refried beans and I'm making them again. I go to a restaurant order refried beans only to find out they have lard or bacon grease in them. Such a bummer so I am making these again. They are delicious.
Good recipe! I’ve never added onion; just onion and garlic powder to my retried beans. I’ll try this. And... I love that you use organic whenever possible and non-GMO. 😊
I can't help myself. Fear of gmo is absurd. Millions of people have been eating gmo products for over 30 years. Ya know how many people have gotten sick, cancer, grown a third arm or so much as a tummy ache? ZERO. Nada. Zilch. Exactly what are you afraid of?
Wow I cannot wait to try this with some canned beans when I’m unable to soak them overnight or don’t have the time to wait an hour and a half for them to soften! Your beans looks fantastic!l love your recipe and will definitely try it today! I thank you again for sharing!
Looks great like all your recipes...I have a request if that's possible ..Years ago I tried Mexican style street corn and it was amazing but all the recipes I have found don't compare..and you seem like the perfect person to ask since all your food my wife and I make is so good...
Thank you for the comment! Can you give me a hint as to what flavors you tasted in the Mexican style sweet corn? Spicy, creamy, cheesy. All hints are helpful! I'll look into it. Thank you for your support and I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the recipes.
Do you already have a video on how to make caldo de rez? Im unfortunately a mexiCANT but your videos really do help me out! Your recipes are easy to follow. 😊
Thank you for the comment Melinda! I do not currently have a recipe for caldo de rez. You can search my channel by entering Rockin Robin Cooks _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . You fill in the blank.
These are the bomb Robin. I am a new subscriber and am looking forward to trying you're other Mexican dishes. Question? Would you consider your Mexican dishes, Tex Mex style or ................
@@RockinRobinCooks Yes I tried these refried beans, they are delicious . Have you ever had Mexican food in a Texas restaurant? It looks like Mexican food yet it does not taste anything like what I have grown accustom to in California. Texans refer to there Mexican food as TexMex. I am not a fan of TexMex
Robin, thanks for bringing this recipe to my attention. It looks delicious and I am very excited to try it. The one thing that I noticed from watching your video is that you use quite a bit more olive oil than in your previous recipe which called for 1/4 cup of corn oil. Would there be any benefit in using the same oil you used to sautee your onions (for extra flavor) or no?
Hi Christopher, you are right, I was a little heavy handed on the oil. I was just estimating so 1/3 to 1/2 I think is better. You would definitely want to use the oil that you cook the onions in for more flavor. You could even take that oil and cook some corn tortillas in it too. Flavoring that oil is where it's at. Thanks for watching!
Love your old Refried Bean recipe, Will definitely give this new one a-go Homemade is worth it, better than buying it in store, Thank you, Rockin Robin :-))
Hi Joe, glad you are enjoying the beans recipe. Let me know what you think of this one. The basics are pretty much the same, it's just swapping out some of the ingredients. Hope you enjoy it!
What I love to do sometimes to your recipe Robin is I cook Chorizo of my choice, usually Soy, once the beans are done I add the chorizo to the beans and blend them in a blender of I mash them by hand unless I'm in a hurry. Adding Chorizo to the beans kicks it up notches unknown. Try it and let me know what you think!
Wow, this recipe is amazing. Dare I ask, any tips for making a healthy, oil free version??? I have been scouring youtube to try to find a recipe that is oil free but still delicious! HELP! LOL
@@RockinRobinCooks OMG, I am just now seeing your reply. Thank you! Thank you! Yep, I get it. Fat makes everything better. I need to make your version and have it as a treat!
Hi Linda, let me know how the beans turn out for you! I do have a fried rice recipe for you to try: th-cam.com/video/HaSGxpIc0Ko/w-d-xo.html You can always search my channel for recipes. Also in youtube search, if you type "Rockin Robin Cooks _ _ _ _ _ _ _ you will find out if I make that recipe!
Hi Thank you for the Bean Recipe. I will never buy beans again. So Delicious, my husband Just Loves them. Now I am going to make the rice and Beans for dinner tonight. Oh So Delicious. thank you so much. This is my New go to Place for all your recipes !! :)
I love this recipe! The flavor is amazing. One thing to mention is when adding the water to the onions, you need to use HOT water not cold before blending. Otherwise, this recipe is awesome!
Publish a book with both the traditional recipe AND a healthier version. I don't have any dietary concerns but people who do might miss the traditional recipes and want to know of ingredients they could use as a substitution. 😊 You've been in the restaurant world a long time so you know how you learned but are making healthier choices now for yourself and family.
Thanks Charles. No I don't have a red beans and rice recipe? I have an individual recipe for Spanish rice. Here is a link to it: th-cam.com/video/OISsQ6NTMfw/w-d-xo.html
Perfect timing. I just made myself bean burritos from a can. Gasp, I know! I tried to flavor them better but they were just not that good. I’m going to try this when I’m home all day again.
Hi Terri, do try this recipe and let me know how you like it. Just so you know, I do have a video for you on how to make canned refried beans taste good in case you haven't seen it: th-cam.com/video/VHHGTsDGHVs/w-d-xo.html
One question, I have always made my fried tacos with corn oil, but with this video I was wondering and hoping the extra light olive oil may be a healthier alternative. Any thoughts on that?
Hi Jen, yes I think using the extra light olive oil would be healthier and would be my personal choice. Give it a try and see if the olive oil changes the flavor any. I would be curious as to your opinion. Have a great evening!
Omgosh I am so hungry now! Why do you do this to me? One of my most favorite is refried beans as a dip for my tortilla chips. However, you just took it a stage higher HOMEMADE!!??? Oh wow, salivation running wild here ... So hungry ... How many hours total? 🤔
Lol, glad you enjoyed the video! Figure on 3 1/2 hours total cooking time, a little longer if you can wait! Remember the cue, if they start to stick, turn off the heat and mash em. Enjoy!
Hi there!! We don’t have PINTO BEANS available here in our country, what other type of beans can I use as a substitute? And can I use canola oil instead ? Thank you in advance for answering my query.. God bless always.😇😇😇
Hi Ja queline, you could try black beans, or great northern beans but I have not tried them personally. You can use canola oil but it is not a healthy oil but I have used it. You can also use lard. Thanks for the question!
This is how I have been making refried beans lately. Make sure to cook those onions until they start turning brown for the best flavor. Let me know how you like them!
Beans look good, just like my moms. But if you addd half olive oil and half pork lard((the bottom part of the lard with pieces of chicharrón)) they come out even better. That kind of porky taste, great on refríes beans
I decieded to find a video "this one" my beans were just about done and I tried this... it's plain it's simple and I had the 4 ingrediants and it Does taste good, I'm not gonna mess with it and boil it 1 more like the video says.
I've always been afraid to make refried beans, I know sounds silly. It's just with that longer cook time and that I thought you had to use lard, which I never purchase I figured only way to eat them was go to Mexican restaurant or worse to eat from a can. I like your healthier version and it actually doesn't look that hard to do. Just need to be around home when cooking. Also MANY THANKS for your safety tip about water and oil-that must have been totally scary when you had your fire experience!!!
Hi Suzy, don't be afraid to try this recipe! If you do, let me know how they turn out. I would love to hear! Yes the water and grease incident was very scary. Glad it only lasted a second. Thanks for watching!
In your other video I recall you using 1/4 cup of corn oil and in this video you used a full cup. Is there a reason for that major difference or am I misremembering?
Hola, sweet adorable Robin. Your refried beans look so pretty. What's your best tip for making apple juice that's really healthy? Have a good day, sweet adorable Robin.
Hola Byron, thank you for your comment! I think apple juice all by itself tastes good and is healthy if you dilute it a bit with water so you dilute the sugar content. Keep that positive attitude Byron!
I do have another question to ask u. Ever made 'pork' green chili? I'm from CO & there's a little Mexican restaurant there that made the best pork green chili, along with their beans & homemade tortillas😋😋😋 Since I'm no longer there😠I'm in a state where the Mexican cooking is so🤢. I have no clue what they do to the ground beef & their burritos are small...not worth the price they charge. Anyway. Do u have a good 'pork green chili' recipe that makes ur eyes cross & gives u that full pansa feeling😋🤗
@@RockinRobinCooks Honestly, I have no clue. There's a little Mexican restaurant in Denver Colorado & all their stuff is homemade. I really wish I knew what they put in it because it is so good. For now, my kid's & I are in sc & the Mexican food out here is not good. The way they cook the beef & chicken is not good at all. The only thing that is 'somewhat' good is their refried beans...even then, they make it WAY too salty. All I can say is that. I'm glad I came across ur videos/cooking. Wish u were out here selling ur food. My kid's & I would be there in a heartbeat🤗 One more thing. U have a big heart to be sharing ur families recipes. So glad I found u on here. Blessings🙏 Keep on sharing ur delicious recipes🌹 Kat😊
Can I ask what the purpose of all that oil is? Is it flavor? I've always just cooked and mashed them in the water they boiled in, and then maybe a 1/4 of oil ( I use bacon grease... it gives it that "umami" flavor), oh and try boiling them with a smoked ham hock. You're welcome.
THIS. Robin's original recipe is the one we've used for years: spectacular. We're just about to sit down to eat with some of those as a side.#goodtiming.
Hahaha, it's not that much oil! How do I stay so fit... well, all things in moderation and I eat healthy and I most certainly read labels for what in the heck is in this! Also, making your own food is way healthier than eating out, for the most part. I hope you will check out more of my recipes! I started this channel with Mexican recipes as my parents had a Mexican restaurant that I worked in for many years. Then I moved into healthy recipes that taste great. I hope you will explore my channel and try out more recipes. If you have any questions I'm always here! Welcome to my channel!
@@RockinRobinCooks Gotcha😉 HA! No wonder my beans never had that good flavor, taste😲😁 I'll give this a try & let u know how my kid's say they turned out😊 Gotta love them 'good' refried beans😋 Thanks Robin🌹
I love beans, I am super excited to try this. Thank you!
I made these tonight using just a few tablespoons of canola oil, low salt and a large onion and they still turned out wonderfully well. Thanks!
Have been making refried beans for years like my grandmother taught me. Excited to try your pureed onions as a new twist. Thanks for the great videos!
Thanks Hetchel. I hope you will give me an update on how you liked this recipe. Thanks for watching!

Swap in manteca (lard) for the oil, and your beans will taste 100x better. The best part, manteca is 100% natural.

I decieded to find a video "this one" my beans were just about done and I tried this... it's plain it's simple and I had the 4 ingrediants and it Does taste good, I'm not gonna mess with it and boil it 1 more like the video says.
Glad you like the recipe!
I've always been afraid to make refried beans, I know sounds silly. It's just with that longer cook time and that I thought you had to use lard, which I never purchase I figured only way to eat them was go to Mexican restaurant or worse to eat from a can. I like your healthier version and it actually doesn't look that hard to do. Just need to be around home when cooking. Also MANY THANKS for your safety tip about water and oil-that must have been totally scary when you had your fire experience!!!
Hi Suzy, don't be afraid to try this recipe! If you do, let me know how they turn out. I would love to hear! Yes the water and grease incident was very scary. Glad it only lasted a second. Thanks for watching!
In your other video I recall you using 1/4 cup of corn oil and in this video you used a full cup. Is there a reason for that major difference or am I misremembering?
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼thanks
You are welcome! I made these last night for the family and of course they loved them.
Awesome robin...my wife's name is robin
Is that right! I hope you keep watching and trying my recipes! Have a wonderful day!
Please man, an I have some more!
The onions were a surprise. Was that a full bag of beans to 1 cup of oil?
It was 3 cups of beans to 1 cup or thereabouts of oil to cook the onion in
Thank Ya!!!@@RockinRobinCooks
Hola, sweet adorable Robin. Your refried beans look so pretty. What's your best tip for making apple juice that's really healthy? Have a good day, sweet adorable Robin.
Hola Byron, thank you for your comment! I think apple juice all by itself tastes good and is healthy if you dilute it a bit with water so you dilute the sugar content. Keep that positive attitude Byron!
I do have another question to ask u.
Ever made 'pork' green chili?
I'm from CO & there's a little Mexican restaurant there that made the best pork green chili, along with their beans & homemade tortillas😋😋😋
Since I'm no longer there😠I'm in a state where the Mexican cooking is so🤢. I have no clue what they do to the ground beef & their burritos are small...not worth the price they charge.
Anyway. Do u have a good 'pork green chili' recipe that makes ur eyes cross & gives u that full pansa feeling😋🤗
Hi Kat, I do not have a pork green chili recipe that makes ur eyes cross and gives you that full pansa feeling! Can you tell me what is in that dish?
@@RockinRobinCooks
Honestly, I have no clue. There's a little Mexican restaurant in Denver Colorado & all their stuff is homemade.
I really wish I knew what they put in it because it is so good. For now, my kid's & I are in sc & the Mexican food out here is not good. The way they cook the beef & chicken is not good at all. The only thing that is 'somewhat' good is their refried beans...even then, they make it WAY too salty.
All I can say is that. I'm glad I came across ur videos/cooking. Wish u were out here selling ur food. My kid's & I would be there in a heartbeat🤗
One more thing. U have a big heart to be sharing ur families recipes. So glad I found u on here.
Blessings🙏 Keep on sharing ur delicious recipes🌹
Kat😊
With all your yummy recipes, how are you so thin? 😂
Moderation my dear! Exercise helps too! I eat A LOT of the healthy recipes on my channel too! Thank you for stopping in!!
Can I ask what the purpose of all that oil is? Is it flavor? I've always just cooked and mashed them in the water they boiled in, and then maybe a 1/4 of oil ( I use bacon grease... it gives it that "umami" flavor), oh and try boiling them with a smoked ham hock. You're welcome.
❤️❤️❤️ it!
Thank you!!
I caramelize onions almost every day and have never used that much oil to do it.
I used extra oil because my goal was to flavor the oil that I put into the beans.
solid recipe and i know it's healthy, but refried beans are SOOO much better when made with lard....
THIS.
Robin's original recipe is the one we've used for years: spectacular.
We're just about to sit down to eat with some of those as a side.#goodtiming.
Thank you for the testimonial! Glad you enjoy the recipes! I hope enjoy this one!
Yes . Not the healthiest but when it comes to refried beans lard is king. Please don't try because you won't want it without..
Now if you’re daring, do all pork lard instead of olive oil. Even better tasting beans
That is a s*** ton of oil. How are you so fit eating this tasty dish? By the way , new to your channel. Will subscribe.
Hahaha, it's not that much oil! How do I stay so fit... well, all things in moderation and I eat healthy and I most certainly read labels for what in the heck is in this! Also, making your own food is way healthier than eating out, for the most part. I hope you will check out more of my recipes! I started this channel with Mexican recipes as my parents had a Mexican restaurant that I worked in for many years. Then I moved into healthy recipes that taste great. I hope you will explore my channel and try out more recipes. If you have any questions I'm always here! Welcome to my channel!
i wonder if you can use kidney beans for this?
Why so much oil though? Is there another way of doing that without so much oil?
Hi Kat, the oil is for flavor. You can always cut back if you wish.
@@RockinRobinCooks Gotcha😉
HA! No wonder my beans never had that good flavor, taste😲😁
I'll give this a try & let u know how my kid's say they turned out😊
Gotta love them 'good' refried beans😋
Thanks Robin🌹
So they don’t get fried??
Not in the real sense. There are other ways to get the same flavor.
😊
