Instant Refried Beans

3 cups dried beans*
3 tsp. dried cumin
3 tsp. chili powder
3 tsp. salt
crushed pepper to your liking
3 tsp. dried minced onion

* any variety or mixture is tasty. Experiment with what your family likes

In a coffee grinder, food mill or blender, grind beans until a flour
consistency

This is my method. Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight
container.

TO PREPARE:
In a medium-sized saucepan combine 3/4 cup bean flour mix with 2-1/2 cups
boiling water. Mix with a wire whisk until combined. Don't worry about the
lumps, they are tasty and add texture to your beans. Bring to boil, cover,
reduce heat to low and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until thickened. Mixture
will thicken more as it cools. Refried beans will remain thickened even when
reheating. You can experiment using different spices and etc.
