Tasty Refried Beans Recipe With Chorizo Is Made With Leftover Black Bean Soup Side Dishes
The other night I made six-ingredient black bean soup for dinner. Being just the two of us, we had leftovers. When six-ingredient beef empanadas were on the menu the next day, I decided to see if I could make refried beans out of the leftover soup. Well, it was a success!
The same technique could be used with canned black bean soup. Pour the soup into a pot, mash and cook until liquid has evaporated. Depending on brand of soup, you may want to add some ground cumin, chili powder or garlic powder.
