Refried Kidney Beans

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This recipe makes a delicious and simple side to any Mexican or Tex-Mex meal. The kidney beans are flavorful and are delicious topping on nachos too. Their creaminess and rich taste add a great texture to nachos. The simplicity of this recipe comes from using taco seasoning, a staple seasoning in my kitchen.

When making these kidney beans, remember to trust the process. The desired color and flavor are not reached until the final minutes of the cooking process.
