Refried Beans

If you have bought refried beans you know how extremely high they are in sodium. I am teaching classes on making vegetable burrito's and have a hard time finding refried beans that are less than 390 mg of sodium. some go over 600 mg of sodium.
Plus it is so quick and easy to make your own with hardly any sodium.

 Refried Bean Recipe:
  • 1/2 onion, chopped and sauted.
  • 1 15 oz. Kuners Pinto Beans with 10 mg. sodium, rinsed and drained.
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons tomato paste.
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 3/4-1 cup veg broth-low sodium-Start with the 3/4 cup, you can always add more if needed.
  •  Put everything in a food processor and puree.
  • Cook ingredients for 5 min or so
How is that for easy, and hardly any sodium.

Enjoy!
I will post the veg tortillas later today.  They are really yummy. Need to run!!!
