Lime juice, cumin and cayenne pepper make these beans so tasty, particularly when compared to the canned variety. I like to dress them up with reduced-fat cheese and salsa. —Myra Innes of Auburn, Kansas

I have always cooked my beans in the crock pot & use the electric mixer formashing perfect every time .

This recipe is excellent! I have made these several times , no changes except for a pinch of sugar and some chopped fresh cilantro. Love this recipe! Thank you!

I think this recipe might be better with a different type of bean, but consistency might suffer. The pinto taste is sort of "musty", and give this an odd flavor. Black beans may be better, but they are more dry and will not mash as well. I will not likely experiment.

I'm making refried beans tomorrow--I wasn't sure how, so this is great. I am actually cooking dried black beans, which I will substitute for the canned pintos. (My favorite canned refried beans are black & have lime, so I'm thinking this will turn out very similar).

sounds like a great alternative to canned ones (many brands have lard in them) - I can't wait to try this!
