You'll Need: 

3 cups dried navy or pinto beans 

3 tsp. dried cumin 

3 tsp. chili powder 

1 tsp. salt 

pepper 

3 T. dried minced onion 

In a coffee grinder, food mill or blender, grind beans until a flour consistency. Combine all ingredients and store jar or ziploc bag. 

To Use: 

3/4 cup mix 

2-1/2 cups boiling water 

Mix with a wire whisk until combined. 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 add salsa or chopped chili peppers for added zip.
