Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I've deleted some email and don't recall who suggested using anasazi to make refried beans. I tried it last night, and you're right, they make about the heartiest refritos ever. I made a vegan meal using them. I steamed some corn tortillas and lined a plate with them. I made some fresh salsa (Walla Walla sweet onions, jalapenos, cilantro and fresh tomatoes all run through a food processor.) I put a little olive oil in a cast iron skillet, added the anasazi beans and a little cooking liquid, mashed the beans with a potato masher leaving them chunky, and cooked down the liquid until I got the consistency I like. Then I salted them to my taste. I spread the refritos on the tortillas and slathered on the fresh salsa. No cheese or any other dairy. It was delicious and filling, and dairy wasn't missed.
