How to Make Simple Low Fat Non Refried Beans

  1. Rinse 1 cup of dried beans thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the rinsed beans with 6 cups of fresh water.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 4 1/2 hours, or until beans are very tender. Add more water if needed to prevent sticking or burning.
  5. Carefully transfer the cooked beans to a blender or food processor. Add 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid to help achieve your desired consistency. Blend until smooth or chunky, as preferred.
  6. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. You can also add other spices like cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder for extra flavor.
