RECIPES FROM MEXICO

Refried Beans

1 pound pinto beans
8 cups water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Wash the beans well, then put in a saucepan with enough water to cover them deeply.  Cook very slowly, covered, for 1 hour.  Add the salt and sugar and continue to cook slowly for 2 more hours, adding water when necessary.

Drain the beans, keeping aside the liquid. Heat oil in a large skillet. Put beans into skillet and heat at medium while mashing the beans smooth. Add reserved bean liquid as necessary to keep desired consistency.
