Julie in Austin Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I made homemade refried beans, but they are way too thin, especially since I wanted to put them on tostadas. What can I do to thicken them up? Or should I give up and go out to dinner? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Simmer them for a bit longer and then let them cool. Cooling thickens it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnlvr Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Fry on stovetop in frying skillet. Med heat, stirring CONSTANTLY, as to avoid burning. Works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Pull the amount you need out of the pot, and refry them in a large skillet. You can basically boil the moisture out of them pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Speaking of bacon....I always refry beans with chopped bacon. Tostadas! YUM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Drain and reserve the liquid. Mash the beans and add a little liquid back in until right consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Gregg Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Add some corn starch and do what everyone else already said. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
