These are my absolute favorite beans, and although I love pintos, mayocobas blow them away every time! Seriously, guys, if you have not tried them, you MUST. You will never want to go back to “regular” frijoles again…I buy them in bulk at the local farmers market. This is a good/solid starter recipe. Mayocoba beans are so very creamy and perfect for refry-ing. Also, like one poster mentioned, they are delicious on their own, without mashing. Starting with dried and taking the FEW extra steps is worth it (only requiring patience while they cook). Thanks for posting!! Enjoy!

I made these today and I will make them again. They are very good. I added 2 generous pinches of Mexican Oregano. Rubbed it between my fingers before adding to pot. Because I live 5000 feet above sea level, I soaked the beans overnight. I only used 7 cups of broth to cook the beans and ended up removing some of the broth before smashing the beans. I left them in the broth instead of refrying. We are a fan of charro beans and liked the broth.

I think maybe the recipe is wrong. That looks like more than 1/2 cup of beans in the pictures. Is 1/2 cup the correct amount?

In reply to Wayne Strider. I like colby jack because it has good flavor and it melts.

Homemade refried beans are the best and freeze really well! Bookmarking your recipe 🙂

In reply to Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness. You must! Be warned that you will never be able to enjoy canned beans in the same way after you have homemade :)
