Meal Prepping Hero: Refried Beans

I love to prepare food and store it either in the fridge or the freezer. It is great to have nice food during a busy work week with less effort.

One of my favorites for meal prepping are refried beans.

Why?

You can easy portion them, keep them in the fridge and you can quickly reheat them. As well it is not much more effort to do a large portion when you do the normal cooking. Last time I did a Mexican dinner and included refried beans. Instead of one can of beans I used 3 cans. This gives me additional 3 portions for meal prepping.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 can kidney beans
½ onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled & finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon tomato puree
2 cups of water
oil

Directions:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Fry onions and garlic cloves in hot oil, until brown. Takes 3-4 minutes.
• Stir pinto beans, cumin, and add tomato puree. Cook for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Put bean mixture into a blender and mix until smooth.

Enjoy your beans.
