This recipe elevates the classic refried beans with a creamy texture and a hint of spice, perfect as a side dish or a dip.
In a food processor, blend the cooked pinto beans until smooth.
Add a splash of water or broth if the beans are too thick to blend smoothly.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Ensure the pan is evenly heated before adding the beans for consistent cooking.
Add the blended beans, minced garlic, adobo seasoning, and salt to the pan. Stir well.
Stir constantly to prevent the beans from sticking to the pan.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and is heated through.
Adjust the seasoning to taste during cooking.
Stir in the sour cream and mix until well combined.
Adding sour cream enhances the creaminess of the beans.
Transfer the beans to a serving dish and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Use a warm serving dish to keep the beans hot for longer.
Serve warm as a side dish or a dip.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime for added flavor.
