Ingredients

  • 65 g ground cumin (12 tablespoons / ¾ cup)
  • 65 g salt (4 tablespoons. Or salt sub)
  • 30 g ground black pepper (4 tablespoons)
  • 30 g onion powder (4 tablespoons)
  • 45 g garlic powder (4 tablespoons)
  • 10 g oregano (4 tablespoons, dried)
  • 25 g cocoa powder (optional, 4 tablespoons, unsweetened)

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a jar or container, put lid on, and shake.
  • Store in a sealed container.

Notes

  • Use 3 tablespoons / 40 g per 4 cups of cooked beans being made into refried beans;
  • Pro tip: Also add 1 to 2 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice (fresh or bottled) per 4 cups of cooked beans being made into refried beans — the citrus acidity really wakes up the flavour of the beans and takes the flat-tasting edge off them.

    Regarding canning pinto beans to be used for refried beans, is it safe to add this Refried Bean Seasoning Mix recipe to each jar before processing? They’re all dry ingredients, I just want to make sure it’s safe.
    Thank you!

    Is this recipe calling for Mexican oregano or just regular oregano? Thanks!

    It looks inters, but I’m a hit confused about the directions when to add the seasoning. I’m making slow cooked Refried pinto beans. Do I add the seasoning and lime juice while the Pinto beans are cooking or after it’s been cooked?

      12 tablespoons / 3/4 cup. (At bottom of recipes there’s a link for switching measurements. It’s on the todo list to ask the recipe template makers if they can make that more visible somehow.)
