The Refried Bean Secrets Mexican Restaurants Use – 3 Stages for Tacos, Tostadas & More
I used to own a Mexican Restaurant in the Rio Grande Valley and the amazing chefs I worked with taught me the secrets of refried beans...

These refried beans are sometimes called runny, sticky and retefritos…and the restaurants will serve their refried beans based on the dish being ordered.
… but the first secret is that it all starts with a good pinto bean recipe.
For Terry’s favorite pinto beans recipe we’re gonna use:
– 2.5 C of Casserole Pinto Beans – these our are FAVORITE brand of beans
– 2 Garlic Cloves
– 2 Strips of Thick Cut Hickory & Mesquite Smoked Bacon
– About half J & B Salt Pork
_ A little more or a little less of each ingredient, to your preference
and
– 2 tsp of APC OG, you can salt to taste later
The cooking process for these is super simple in the crock pot. NO soaking needed. You just need to set it to high to get them simmering and check it every hour or so with a little stir. Depending on the crock pot these should take about four to five hours MAX!
And BONUS! In this video we’re also gonna show you what I call the THREE STAGES OF REFRIED BEANS! Stage 1 is the runny bean, perfect for scooping up with a Mexican spoon. Stage 2 is a little drier bean cooked with a little lard perfect for spreading on a tortilla or on a plate. And Stage 3 we add a little more yummy lard and take them to a little toasty finish, incorporating all of the yummy crispy goodness from the bottom of the pan. I love these for chalupas because they won’t make your tortillas soggy and the flavor, oh baby is several notches above the other two.

Cowboy Pinto Beans Recipe
1 pound dried pinto beans
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1-2 jalapeños, diced
1 ham hock (8 to 10 ounces)
1 1⁄2 tablespoons dried cilantro
½ tablespoon Red River Ranch Original Seasoning
½ tablespoon Mesquite Seasoning
1. Pour the beans into a large soup pot. Pour enough water over the beans until they are covered by about 2 - 3 inches.
2. Add the onion, jalapeño, ham hock, and cilantro. Cook over high heat until the mixture reaches a rolling boil, stirring occasionally.
3. Cover and boil hard for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. As soon as the beans are boiling, you may need to add more warm water to keep them slightly covered and throughout the cooking process.
4. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the spices. Cover and simmer for 11/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beans soften. Season again to taste, if necessary.

***RECIPE, SERVES FOUR***
1 lb (454g) frozen lima beans (or fresh, but NOT dried — maybe canned?)
1 bunch green onions
1-2 fresh red chilies
1 thumb of ginger
2-3 garlic cloves
1 bunch cilantro (Thai basil would be nice instead)
1 lime's juice (of half a lime if you want less acid)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup (60mL) gochujang (replace some or all with ketchup if you don't want it too spicy)
1/4 cup (60mL)
1-2 teaspoons sugar
water
oil
rice to accompany (make it how you want)
Get your rice going and get the frozen or fresh beans coming to a boil in a pot of water. Reduce the beans to a simmer and cook until just tender — mine took 10 minutes. Drain the beans thoroughly.
If you're using a cast iron pan on an outdoor grill like I do in the view, rub it with a thin layer of oil and get it heating inside the grill at maximum heat with the lid closed. If you're cooking inside, don't worry about it yet.
Slice the green onions thinly and set the green slices apart from the white and semi-white slices. Slice the chilies thinly, removing the ribs and seeds if you want to reduce the heat. Peel and chop the ginger and garlic. Roughly chop a big handful of cilantro or whatever herb you're using. Cut the lime in half.
To make the sauce, disperse the cornstarch in a splash of soy sauce or water until smooth. Put in the gochujang, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, cilantro, garlic, onion greens and enough water to get you 1.25 cups (300mL) total sauce once stirred.
Toss the drained beans, onion whites, ginger and chilies in enough oil to lightly coat everything.
If you're cooking this inside, get your widest pan heating over high heat and hope your ventilation system will get out the smoke you're about to make. If you're cooking it outside, take everything outside.
Drop the bean mixture into the pan, spread it out to an even layer but don't stir it until you've gotten a good char on the bottom of the beans. Stir for another minute or two to cook the vegetables. Stir in the sauce and reduce it until it's almost as thick as you want it (I'll thicken more before you eat).
Serve over rice.
